Explicación
Congenital canities refers to the condition of having grey or white hair at birth. This is a genetic condition that is present from birth. Among the options provided, albinism is the condition that best fits this description. Albinism is a genetic disorder that results in little or no production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. This lack of pigment can result in white or very light-colored hair, skin, and eyes, which is consistent with the definition of congenital canities. The other options, tinea, pityriasis, and hypertrichosis, do not fit this description. Tinea is a fungal infection of the skin, pityriasis is a skin condition characterized by lightening of the skin, and hypertrichosis is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth.
