It comprises 3 types: GS1, GS2, and GS3, each with unique genetic and clinical features. GS1 exhibits partial albinism and neurological issues without immune effects due to MYO5A mutations. GS2 presents severe immunodeficiency and risks such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis linked to RAB27A mutations. GS3, caused by melanophilin gene mutations, has a better prognosis. Diagnosis involves hair microscopy and genetic testing, and while supportive treatments exist, early diagnosis is vital for improved outcomes. GS is a rare genetic disorder with varied symptoms, categorized into 3 types, requiring genetic testing for diagnosis and treatment ranging from management to stem cell transplantation.

Introduction  \nGriscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by partial oculocutaneous albinism, immunodeficiency, and neurological manifestations. [1] The first case was reported in 1978.[1] GS is classified into 3 types based on the underlying genetic mutations and clinical features. [2] A hallmark of the syndrome is the presence of silvery-gray hair and hypopigmented skin. [2]  \nGS type 1 is caused by mutations in the MYO5A gene, which plays a critical role in organelle transport within neuronal cells  \nand melanocytes. This leads to partial albinism and neurological deficits. [1] Clinically, patients with GS type 1 exhibit significant neurological alterations, including developmental delays, seizures, intellectual disabilities, and hypotonia (weak muscle tone) . [2]  \nGS type 2 results from mutations or dysregulation of the RAB27A gene, which is particularly important in specific cell types such as melanocytes, cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and NK cells. [1] Affected individuals are prone to immune system abnormalities and may develop hemophagocytic syndrome due to the overactivity of macrophages and T lymphocytes.
