50 Photos Of Unique People That Show That Genetics Is Hard To Predict (New Pics)
Embracing yourself and coming to terms with your appearance can take years. But some people are born with genes that make them stand out even more than us regular folks. Because of this, getting through the day can be a lot harder. That's why it's so awesome to see those who aren't hiding and are confident in their skin.
So we at Bored Panda decided to expand on our earlier publications (this one and this one) and compile a new list of pictures posted by folks with unusual and rare body features. Like pear-shaped pupils. Or abnormally long arms. Despite the challenges these people face, they choose to live their lives with a positive attitude. And that's something to be celebrated.

If there is nothing wrong with the eye, let everyone see the beauty of the eye
Joe Average 3 years ago
My dear wife has an off center oval shaped iris in both eyes. Sees find with glasses and can drive. Not without problems though. She had a year of detached retina problems. Multiple surgeries and lots of trips to the doctor's office - even Christmas day that year to have the surgery results checked. Doing great these days but we never take it for granted. Modern science and medicine are amazing thing!
Genes are hereditary information units that organisms pass down to new generations. Genes contain coded information for the production of proteins that enable cells to function. An organism’s entire collection of genes is called its genome.
The human genome, for example, contains somewhere between 20,000 and 25,000 genes. We resemble the people in our family because our genes are more similar to their genes than they are to those of strangers.
On the other hand, your genes are more similar to the genes of all other humans than they are to the genes of a different kind of organism, such as a rabbit. That being said, humans resemble chimpanzees because we share nearly 99 percent of the same genes.

My toddler has an extra thumb! Not like this tho, it’s a little thumb on the outside of his regular thumb. It has a nail and has been growing along with him. When they did an x-ray they found a tiny finger bone but it wasn’t connected to the rest of his hand. He is having it removed later this month. I’m very conflicted about it 😕

Humans are hardwired to find large eyes attractive so no worries momma
Heredity is a concept that humans have been aware of for thousands of years as we’ve cultivated crops and selectively bred animals.
However, the first formal genetic study was undertaken by a monk named Gregor Mendel in the middle of the 19th century—Mendel bred peas and noticed he could cross-pollinate them in certain ways to get green or yellow seeds.
Nowadays, the field of genetics is breaking new ground searching for new ways to treat disease or develop crops more resistant to insects or drought.

"As there is no known cure, few people with progeria exceed 13 years of age." "People with progeria have normal reproductive development, and there are known cases of women with progeria who delivered healthy offspring." ~~~~~~~~~~ To the last one: WTAF? Even if their body can get pregnant, they are still children, even if they are lucky and live till twenty or so. What a cruel disease!

While genomes may differ greatly, the genes themselves are all built in the same way. A gene is a section of a long molecule called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), or—in some viruses—a similar molecule called ribonucleic acid (RNA).
DNA and RNA are made of building blocks called nucleotides. Each nucleotide is constructed around one of the four different subunits, called bases. These bases are known as guanine, cytosine, adenine, and thymine (in RNA thymine is replaced with uracil).
A gene carries information in the sequence of its nucleotides, just as a sentence carries information in the sequence of its letters. Although most genes are made of DNA, the genes use RNA to make the proteins that are coded for in the DNA.

Genes are located on threadlike structures called chromosomes in the cell nucleus (a chromosome itself is a long molecule of DNA with proteins attached). Each cell of an organism carries at least one chromosome. Many organisms, including humans, have numerous chromosomes in their cells.
To make a protein from a gene in DNA, a cell first builds a strand of RNA that copies the information from the DNA molecule. This process is called the transcription of a gene.

Only about one percent of our DNA is in protein-coding genes. The other 99 percent is noncoding DNA. Geneticists do not know the purpose of all this noncoding DNA, but they believe at least some of it is necessary for the proper functioning of cells, especially in controlling gene functions.

We receive half our genes from each biological parent and may inherit a gene mutation from one of them or both. Sometimes genes change due to issues within the DNA (mutations). This can raise our risk of having a genetic disorder. Some cause symptoms at birth, while others develop over time.

It may be worth pursuing a test. One of the risk categories with chimerism is over or under active immune response including potentially having a sudden onset reaction to the other cells in your body.... also your doctor will be excited if it comes back positive, it's rare but she/he will have definitely heard of it but likely never encountered it.

Dynein 3 years ago
Interesting fact: While actual, full chimeras (fusion of cells from different zygotes into one single organism) are rare, every women is at least a bit of a chimera. This is because of the X-chromosomes - only one X-chromosome is needed to function, so in every cell one is inactivated. This happens at random; on average it's a 50/50 split between the chromosomes. So if a gene on one X-chromosome is defective, only half of the cells of a woman are usually affected - this can still result in issues, but is often not bad enough to be fatal. Another effect is the fur coloration of cats: the "red" gene is on the X-chromosome, so males, which have only one X, are either red or not. Females (and males with more than one X) , however, can be red mixed with other colors (it's a biiiit more complicated than that, fur color genetics are *complicated*, but that's the gist).

I lived in a small village in Germany in the late 70's and our butcher had pupils that were nearly triangle shaped. The iris of his eyes was a very pale, clear green. It was scary for little kids but he was really nice once you got to know him.
Misha Writer 3 years ago
I have a coloboma of the left eye. Mine is shaped like a keyhole, and I have extremely poor vision in that eye. My right eye's optic nerve is perpetually swollen because my left eye is 'defective'. I have little to no depth perception and when I turn my head to look behind me a curtain of black creeps across vision. If I look up too quickly, I get spots akin to sunspots swimming in my vision for several minutes. I am also partially color blind in the left eye, which is interesting because my right eye does not share the colorblindness.
There is often little we can do to prevent a genetic disorder. But genetic counseling and testing can help us learn more about our risks.
If you have a family history of a genetic disorder, you may wish to consider genetic counseling to see if testing is appropriate for you. Lab tests can typically show whether you have gene mutations responsible for that condition. In many cases, carrying the mutation does not always mean you’ll end up with it.

Bonnie Edwards 3 years ago
In the '90s, my uncle was a nurse at a mental institution where my younger brother lived (mentally r******d from an acquired brain injury). He noticed that patients would tap their faces when they had toothaches, and would notify the doctors. One of the loony patients had to be sedated for his dentist, and they decided to do a full mouth x-ray - where they discovered (and then removed) several teeth in the roof of his mouth, pressing up against important nerves. Over the next 6 months, the man regained his mental health, and was then sent to live with family, where he continued to improve. In the meantime, the medical staff x-rayed all the other patients, and removed all misplaced teeth. Over the next few years, a full third of the patients were considered recovered, and allowed to go back out into society. This prompted all mental institutions in Australia to check their patients - with similar results. It is now standard to check the dentistry of all patients.

My Nana was born with this! But in a small town in 1932 they had no idea what it was actually called.

Interesting Iris Pattern (It Doesn’t Affect Vision)
Suleika Cremers 3 years ago
This is called Persistent pupillary membrane (PPM): when the pupil is formed, stringy parts of the iris stay where they usually disappear. It usually doesn't cause any problems, because the brain corrects the images you see and sort of filters out the strings of iris. My daughter has this 'condition' in one eye. It's sort of star shaped so we call it "het sterretje in haar ogen" / the little star in her eyes.

I was born with congetiital glaucoma and one of my eyes was blind and misformed. Other kids (and some adults) can be incredibly cruel - so much in life has too do with how you are treated by others entirely based upon how you look. "Normal" is such a subjective and loaded term, yet the world always seems very free to inform you (and others) when you are not "normal". Being just like all the other kids was always my fervent and unattainable desire. My heart goes out to all of these people whose conditions will never ever let them fit in to be considered"normal".- I hope that they are/were treated better than I was. And, no, you CAN NOT post my picture on the internet as a curiosity to entertain people when they are bored. Go find your entertainment elsewhere.

I have this, as does my daughter. The patchy lesions are extremely sensitive to meat tenderizing enzymes, so pineapple, kiwifruit, some cream cheese and some sharp cheese (the ones with crystals in the texture) can cause quite a lot of pain and swelling. Acidic foods can affect the patches as well but the enzymes are the worst.

My granddaughter was born with this syndrome. She had a cleft palate and a recessed jaw. She was in NICU for the first 2 months of her life. She had surgery at one month old that broke her jaw, pulled it forward and inserted screws into her jaw to bring it forward a little more gradually. Today at 8 years old, you can't tell she was born with any abnormality whatsoever.

A single dose (moist towelette) is supposed to last 3 days but last me 7-9 days. The whole $20-ish box lasts me months. They have hand and foot products now too I believe! I sound like a commercial lol but it’s honestly so nice to wear clothes and colours that I couldn’t wear before - it’s on Amazon btw (boo Amazon but I can’t get it anywhere else in my location)

If you've got something similar, get it checked out. It's not likely to be cancer, but it's a stupid thing to gamble on."
