ALBINO BALBINO


Albino siblings Esthefany Caroline (l) and Kauan Fernandes (r) play with their cousin Taina (c) outside their home in the V9 slum of Olinda, in the northeastern state of Pernambuco. Three of five of the Fernandes family's children are albinos, which according to genetics professor Valdir Balbino of the Federal University of Pernambuco is a very rare occurrence concidering the parents and two children are dark-skinned Afro-Brazilians.
