These Photos are Proof of How Powerful and Unpredictable Genetics Can Be
Poliosis in the Family
We have all probably heard of poliomyelitis, but the term poliosis may be new to our ears, and it has an entirely different meaning. Also known as poliosis circumscripta, it is a genetic mutation resulting in a distinctive white streak in the hair, usually of a different, darker color.
This disorder can affect hair in any part of the body, including eyelashes and eyebrows. As for this mother, poliosis caused a white streak of hair in her hair, and the genes were passed on to her baby. Luckily, it is not harmful in any way, and we just have to admire how unique and beautiful it is.
