Everyone on this earth is beautifully unique in their own way. We all have different things that make us who we are, whether that be how we look, or our own distinctive personality.

Here are some of the most peculiar cases of people that have interesting rare genetic qualities.

This man’s eyes look like lightning against a dark nights sky. He has albinism, which is the absence of pigmentation in the hair, skin, and eyes. His eye colour is a blueish purple due to the lack melanin to colour the iris, so the blood vessels show through. Sometimes people with albinism have red eyes because of their blood vessels.
2.This mother and daughter have matching white patches in their hair. These white patches are from a disorder called Poliosis. The hair follicles stop growing with color because the melanin is not being produced in these areas.
