A subgroup of oculocutaneous albinism type 2 includes people who exhibit a triad of albinism, prolonged bleeding time, and deposition of a ceroid substance in organs such as the lungs and gastrointestinal tract.
Bleeding times - such as Prothombin time (PT) - may be prolonged if there is liver damage. This means it may take longer for your blood to form a blood clot, or for you to stop bleeding if you are injured.

Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) is a rare inherited disorder of blood clotting (coagulation) characterized by unusually large and irregularly shaped platelets; low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) and prolonged bleeding time (difficulty in clotting).
