50 Photos Of Unique People’s Features Because Of Their Rare Genetics (New Pics)
Warning: this article might inspire you to pursue a career in genetics or to become a scientist. The world of genetics is fascinating, to say the least. It can make you feel like you’re living in a sci-fi book, instead of on Planet Earth, and there are plenty of examples that make us go, “Wow, I can’t believe this is real!”
Our team here at Bored Panda has put together this fascinating list of people who were born different from the rest. From small and subtle differences to larger ones that everyone would notice passing you by on the street, here are some of the most unusual examples of genetics at work. As you’re scrolling down this list, upvote the photos that intrigued you the most. And if you’ve got any entrancing tales about genetics in your family to tell all the other Pandas, we invite you to do so in the comment section.
Intrigued by Mother Nature and in the mood for some more examples of unusual genetics? You’ll find them in Bored Panda’s previous two articles on the topic right here and here.
Even though the cases in this list are visually stunning and some might even be classified as ‘cool,’ unfortunately, genetics can also make it more likely that you develop diseases, including certain cancers. For example, 5 to 10 percent of all breast cancers are thought to be hereditary and caused by abnormal genes passed down from parent to child. Bored Panda reached out to experts in the field to tell us more about this.

Bored Panda reached out to the team at the UK-based Breast Cancer Now charity to learn more about this disease, the symptoms, the reasons why someone might develop it, and how to reduce the risks.
“There are many different risk factors for developing breast cancer, some of which we can’t control, like being female, getting older, and for some people, a family history of the disease. There is never one single cause of breast cancer, but rather it results from a combination of our genes, the surrounding environment, and the way we live our lives,” a representative of Breast Cancer Now explained to Bored Panda.

I have vitiligo. When it started my mom was worried so she took me to the most renowned dermatologist (Guatemala) . He told us it was impossible to cure it and prescribed some dangerous medicines. Afterwards we went for a second opinion with a less known and very much cheaper dermatologist that actually took his time to study my skin. He biopsed my skin, did some weird things, cut me off from the previous medicine and prescribed a really cheap petroleum I had to put on my skin and sunbathe for 10 minutes every day at 10 am. Quickly the vitiligo stopped spreading and it actually started shrinking. I was actually very proud of my vitiligo so I stopped the treatment. I wanted to sport my discoloration and I am still sporting it ( I am 35) . I guess what I am trying to say is that vitiligo is not such a bad thing and that if you really do want to stop it there is treatment that works, look for alternatives and second opinions.

“There are things you can do to help to reduce your risk such as drinking less alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, and keeping physically active. Even the small changes like walking more or cutting down on processed foods can be a great start,” they said that there are lots of small lifestyle changes that can reduce the risks. Even though we can’t control everything, we can control some things.
Breast Cancer Now explained that breast cancer is the most common cancer in the United Kingdom. Around 55k women and 370 men get diagnosed with the disease each year. “1 in 7 women in the UK will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, and 8 out of 10 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women aged 50 and over,” the representative told Bored Panda.

“Everyone’s breasts are different and can change with age and at different times of the month. No one knows your body better than you, so it’s important to get to know how your breasts normally look and feel so it will be easier to spot if there are any unusual changes,” Breast Cancer Now said.
“Most breast changes won’t be cancer but it’s important to report anything different or new to your doctor as soon as possible and get it checked out. The sooner breast cancer is diagnosed, the more effective treatment may be.”

According to Breast Cancer Now, checking your breasts for lumps or swellings is very simple and you can remember what to do by using the acronym TLC: Touch, Look, Check.
“It could be when you get dressed, or when you’re in the bath or shower or putting on moisturizer—just as long as you do it regularly and remember to check the whole breast and the surrounding area, including the upper chest and armpits. Most cases of breast cancer are found by women noticing unusual changes, taking the initiative, and visiting their doctor.”

Taylor Muhl Has A Rare Genetic Condition Called, Chimerism. She Is “Her Own Twin”
I have two sets of DNA, two sets of blood and immune cells. The two colors of skin pigmentation on my torso is from my and my twin's two different genetic makeups. My particular case of Chimerism is linked to autoimmune disease.
I went undiagnosed for more than half my life due to the rarity of my condition. I’m now an advocate for Chimerism, it’s link to autoimmune disease and body positivity. My hope is to prevent others from going undiagnosed how I did.
Monday 4 years ago
There was a case like this (Chimerism) on one of those medical shows where a set of parents had to take DNA tests for some reason or another to prove they were the biological parents of their kids. The dad came back a match and the mom didn't, so they were super confused cause how does that even happen? Turns out she had Chimerism and her ovaries were technically her twins'. Her name is Lydia Fairchild if this fascinates anyone else as much as it does me.

I was fascinated by that case too because she was so vulnerable and everyone thought DNA tests were absolute. She was charged with welfare fraud because of the DNA mismatch. Interestingly the prosecutors, not defense, discovered her chimerism and thus dropped the charges.

My facial hair is really black, but my mustache is way more blond. My hair is like dark blond, but it naturally changed during my life. I born with it black, it was really light blonde during childhood, become darker again after my 10y reaching a brown in my late teenage, a brown going to red at 20 and now is a medium blond.

How My Vitiligo Changes From The Winter To The Summer
Katrina 4 years ago
You also shouldn't be doing this as exposure to sun causes increased chances of skin cancer.
Christi Stewart 4 years ago
Yes, VERY true but unless you wear sunscreen, gloves, long sleeves and a sun hat every single time you step outside, it's inevitable that some part of your upper body is going to be exposed. And I'd like to think that most of us who have vitiligo understand that. =) I wish there was more research about this condition.

I deal with the same condition. It's one thing to shade your face in the summer so it doesn't show up as bad. But unless you're willing to cover your arms and hands, it's going to show up lots more. Also, just for the record, those with vitiligo can also experience darker than normal patches where the melanin dumps outside of a melaninless patch.

Depends on the situation. If it won't give any problems, there's no need to remove them. But I had a baby tooth removed at 18 years old because the adult tooth started to grow behind it, and the baby tooth didn't fall out. I had it removed too late, and now the adult tooth is pointed inwards too much. It doesn't bother me that much, so I never got it corrected. I can eat just fine

My upper canines were like this. Had them removed in middle school when my dentist took an xray to see what was up and turn out my adult teeth were sitting sideways instead of pointing down so they didnt push through. Said if we didnt fix it there was a chance they could push in towards my brain. Had a really goofy smile for a while there since without them my 4 center teeth spread out. Also, when they went to remove my wisdom teeth they discovered I was missing 1 of my uppers. I only had 3.

My Newborn Son Covered Head To Toe In White "Fur"
Yvonne Dauwalder Balsiger 4 years ago
That is lanugo hair. Throughout the pregnancy, babies grow and develop in a sac filled with amniotic fluid. This protective fluid cushions the baby. A baby’s skin is covered with a waxy, cheese-like substance called vernix, which protects the skin from amniotic fluid. Vernix prevents a baby’s skin from chaffing in the womb. Lanugo helps protect the skin and makes it easier for vernix to adhere to a baby’s skin. Once a baby sheds lanugo hair — either in the womb or outside the womb — the hair usually never returns. The only exception is in cases of severe malnutrition.

None of us are perfect. Some, however, are completely unique. I'm awed by the unique eyes. So beautiful..

Everyone is unique and perfect at the same time. It's about time the world wakes up and realises this.

the article does not mention that some of these cases may not be genetic or hereditary... some people are prenatally exposed to insecticides or herbicides that can do these things. Incorrect prescription of drugs to pregnant mothers like Thalidomide exposure can cause some of these cases.

I have a wisdom tooth breaking through the gum. Why is this unusual, you ask? I'm 63 years old!

I hate to have to say this, but everyone's genetics makes them unique, so let's not be superficial here and only care about appearances.

True, but the point of this is that even though people think that appearance is everything and having unique birthmarks is bad, it’s actually really cool.

I have gold spots in both my blue green eyes, more in my right than left. My eyes will change color with the weather and what colors I'm wearing.

I have dimples on the backs of my shoulders, the 2 toes next to my big toes on both feet were crossed before I got them corrected, and almost all of the women in my mum's family (myself included) all have a genetic mutation that makes our lumbar vertebrae shorter than they should be.
