7 beautiful genetic anomalies

Albinism is not a condition that one would envy. It's not uncommon for the patient to be blind and it is even dangerous to be outside in the sun as the rays actually burn their skin and they have no organic defense against ultra-violet rays (i.e no melanin).

I have blue eyes and my brother and two sisters have very dark brown eyes. They always teased me saying I was the Milkmans!

Genetics simply put. In Africa being an albino is bad news for the mother and child because the people think they are 'cursed'. I studied genetics. All were truly beautiful and unique. It's nature's way of evolution. Be well and safe.

Yet again Quizzclub has 'lifted' photos from Instagram which in turn has 'pulled' them .. so most of this is a complete waste of time .. again!

Wish I could have seen all the photos. Instagram doesn’t work that well for these it seems.

Two dark eyed parents can have a blue-eyed child if both parents carry the blue-eyed recessive gene.

Half of the photos wouldn't load, (link broken) so can't really comment on the article as a whole.

My identical twin grandsons have cleft chins

NO PHOTOS APPEARED.

I have vitiligo, and there is nothing beautiful about it. Lately, models with it have been featured, but i think that is just an effort toward being inclusive.

I don't find these conditions beautiful. As others have stated, albinism is a huge disadvantage, especially if one lives in a warmer climate.

murphgrl, I think I can identify with that somewhat, being mostly right handed, but can use my left hand for mascara if needed, cutting toenails. I brush my teeth with my left hand only!

Kim Clarke, me too. I also have red hair, and everyone else has dark hair.

Gary Carnes, a high school friend suffered!? heterochromia iridium but It didn't slow him down! He was a magician, a juggler , comedian & actor! There was nothing he lacked , he simply put more effort into the things he enjoyed!

A strange situation is handedness. My parents righties, as my brother. I am a lefty as are my 5 cousins on moms side and 6 on my dads side. Later in life while seeing an orthopedist for thumb joint pain I told her I was ambidextrous - she gave me a test and yup I am. The only true advantage is that I can apply mascara to both eyes by simply switching hands. Doc asked me if I poked me eye out - nope never.

Rich , you're from New Zealand

People who have parents with dark eyes , let’s say brown can have a blue eyed baby due to dominant and recessive genes. If both parents carry the recessive blue eyed gene yet have brown eyes they can pass the recessive gene to their offspring. If both parents pass on the blue eyed gene to their offspring , the offspring will have blue eyes. That has nothing to do with Ocular Albinism.
