Volknur is saying that Seath could be the result of a mutation or from crossbreeding. Unless it specifies which in item descriptions, it can't be known definitively.

Albinism in humans, and other species of the real world, is the result of, not only genetic mutation, but also of recessive genes (there is a distinction) usually passed on from both parents (most are from the result of the latter). In any case, we can't ascribe the properties of albinism from the real world, to dragons from a fictional world, at least not with any certainty. Especially considering that Seath is not only lacking pigment, but scales all together.
