Strong Genes: Meet Family With Four Generations Of White Patch Of Hair

This is 18-month old MilliAnna who has inherited her families signature white patch of hair that makes them beautiful in their own way- she is the fourth generation of the family to pick it up.

Milli Anna’s mum, Brianna Worthy, 23, from  Ridgeland, South Carolina, says that the distinctive look is from a genetic trait called caused by poliosis, which creates a lack of pigment in the patch of hair and the skin around it. Talk about strong genes as four generations down the line have gotten the same white patch in the same place.

Brianna in an interview with DailyMail says,

 “We are unsure how far back the birthmark goes as my grandmother was adopted as a child and hasn’t met her biological family.”

“I was hoping she did have it. My younger sister that my mother had a few years after me didn’t get it, so I didn’t know if MilliAnna was going to, but once I had her and they laid her on my chest and I saw she had it I was so happy.”
