In fact if you had never seen the parents, nothing would look odd about the child, then when she’s placed next to her black parents, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, white baby looks astounding! Genetics experts aren’t entirely sure how this occurred, but they have several theories. T
he first is that the baby has a rare genetic mutation that is entirely unique to her. If this were the case, the gene would likely be passed on to her children. The second theory is that a long dormant white gene was present in one of the parents, which just surfaced now.
The third theory is that she has a rare form of albino in which she didn’t lose all of her pigment, but had a slight genetic mutation. This theory proposes that her skin will likely darken as she gets older!
