When Angela Ihegboro first saw her newborn daughter, she was “speechless.”
“She’s a miracle baby,” the 35-year-old mother said yesterday. “But still, what on Earth happened here?”
What
happened is that baby Nmachi is a blond, blue-eyed white baby born to
two black Nigerian immigrant parents at a London hospital.
“The first
thing I said was, ‘What the flip?’ ” said the father, Ben Ihegboro. “We
both just sat there after the birth staring at her for ages — not
saying anything.”
He quickly sought to dispel any speculation.
“Of
course she is mine. My wife is true to me,” the 44-year-old customer
service adviser said. “Even if she hadn’t been, the baby still wouldn’t
look like that.”
Genetics experts don’t believe in miracles, but
they didn’t have any simple answers to the mystery of baby Nmachi.
Instead, they offered three theories:
She’s the result of a gene
mutation unique to her. If that is the case, Nmachi would pass the gene
to her children — and they, too, would likely be white.
She’s the
product of long-dormant white genes, passed on to her by her parents,
that might have been carried by their predecessors for generations
without surfacing until now.
While doctors have said Nmachi is not an
outright albino, or lacking in all pigment, they added that the child
may have some kind of mutated version of the genetic condition — and
that her skin could darken over time.
