A black couple from Brazil have a pretty typical family with five
growing children — but there's one thing that sets them apart: Three
of their kids have white skin.
Rosemere Fernandes de Andrade, 27, and her partner Joao have two
children who are black and three children who suffer from albinism,
the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph reported.
Genetics professor Valdir Balbino, of the Federal University of
Pernambuco in Brazil, said the condition was especially rare
considering both parents and two other children are black. He also
said both parents must carry the albinism gene.
Albinism is mutation of several genes, which results in little or no
production of the pigment melanin, according to the Mayo Clinic. The
type and amount of melanin your body produces determines the color of
your skin, hair and eyes. There’s no cure for the condition, which
also causes problems with the development and function of the eyes.

People who suffer from the disorder must also take steps to avoid too
much sun exposure, which involves wearing protective clothing, eyewear
and applying sunscreen – something that worries Fernandes.
“I'm afraid of skin cancer because I can't afford the protection they
need,” she said.
Complications associated with albinism include both physical and
emotional challenges. One of the most serious complications is the
risk of sunburn and skin cancer, the Mayo Clinic said on its Web site.
Fernandes, who lives in a slum in north-east Brazil, said her children
Esthefany Caroline, 8, Ruth Caroline, 10, and Kauan, 5, have also been
teased about their skin by fellow students.
The mother of five has also been challenged by security guards who
insisted she could not be the children's mother, according to the
report.
