Doctors claimed yesterday that the blond hair and fair skin of Greece’s mystery girl Maria and several other children of her Bulgarian Roma parents is explained by the genetic condition of albinism.
Sofia medical academy professor Draga Toncheva said: “Albinism is due to a genetic disorder characterized by lack of skin, eye and hair pigmentation.”
Albinos usually have very white and sensitive skin that burns easily in the sun, red or very pale blue eyes, white-blond hair, eyelashes and eyebrows, as well as vision defects such as astigmatism, she explained.
