Genetics is not so Black and White – is it?


Giving birth is an exciting time for parents. It’s always interesting to guess what the baby will look like and which parent’s genes will dominate in the baby’s genetic make-up.  Some dominant genes, like brown eyes, increase the odds that a couple will reproduce a baby with darker eyes; however one couple residing in London, England experienced a surprise that far surpasses finding out your baby’s eye color is not what you expected.

How is this possible?

Ben and Angela Ihegboro, a Nigerian couple living in London, gave birth to a baby girl this year.  Little Nmachi is a beautiful baby, but this infant, unlike her sibling stands out (ironically) as the black sheep of her family. Nmachi was born to her black family with blonde hair, blue eyes and very light skin.  Doctors are weighing out three possibilities for Nmachi’s shocking genetic makeup.

• Dormant, dominant Caucasian genes from a long ago interracial offspring
• A genetic mutation
• Albinism, which is common in parts of Africa

Although any of the above three are possible, doctors seem to be focusing on Albinism predominantly as its statistics show that it is actually common in Nmachi’s parents native continent.  If Nmachi has Albinism, she will have potential vision problems and will experience extreme sensitivity towards the sun; two very common effects of the rare disease. Luckily, Nmachi and her family reside in London, so opposed to the abundance of sun she would have experienced in Africa, she should be a bit safer as London doesn’t see many sunny days.
If Albinism is weighed out or if Nmachi’s parents want to search for the link in their family’s DNA, there is always DNA testing. Comprehensive DNA testing can help the Ihegboro’s figure out where the link in their family tree perhaps reveals a similar case. Digging deep into family history may not be easy, but it sure is useful in helping to discover your origins and perhaps in helping reveal family information that can help answer troubling or perplexed questions like the one surrounding Nmachi’s incredible story.
