5355495 tn?1366821010 Color is more complicated than the ability to roll your tongue, but the principle is the same. If a dark skin color gene is present, it will show up and override white genes, although if you have one of each you'll be lighter. White people have two copies of a white gene (again this is a simplification). So when you mix we'll call the dark gene C for colored and white genes "c", you get different combos.
Avatar n tn So I'm due May 3 with a boy. This is my first pregnancy so I'm not sure how baby getting certain genes works. For skin tone, the father is more tan while I'm pretty pastey. Which gene is more likely to be dominant? It's doesn't matter to me I'm just curious and confused!

I feel like i have acne on my arms, i have never had pimples or acne on my face, so this is annoying to me. any help?
Avatar f tn Australian Shepherds have what is referred to as a lethal white gene. This gene causes a puppy to be born with a lot of white on its face. A white ear is often deaf. An eye that is surrounded by white fur is blind. These puppies are often euthanized by their breeders because it is too difficult to place them in homes, so the gene is referred to as "lethal white" because it often leads to the putting-down of the puppy. White boxers can be deaf and/or blind.
1035252 tn?1427227833 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.
8341316 tn?1397695809 Pretty much the only for sure one is if you anf your partner have blue eyes because then the baby will have blue as well. Since blue is a recessive gene, if a parent has blue eyes that means they do not have a brown eye gene at all. So 2 blue eyed parents will produce a blue eyed baby since neither would have the brown eyed gene.
Avatar f tn Ok I have a question here.. I'm like pale white (blonde hair blue eyes) and my partner is dark skinned.. What color will my baby be? I'm just curious if anyone may have an idea.. I know a mixture but will she be lighter or darker..
Avatar m tn I just turned 33 years of age. White male of European Slavic decent, no health problems, normal height 6 feet and 200 pounds. Thing is, I still have wisdom teeth coming out. Back there some are still fully under the skin but slowly growing in size, others are half way out. Some I feel will start growing soon, they are still very small bumps under the skin. There is no pain or discomfort.

Avatar f tn black couple they end up being like a light caramel skin tone or even a little more towards the white side,so i think your right about yours,but you never know,sometimes its different .
Avatar n tn The cause of a small percentage of cases is due to an abnormal gene or gene mutation. It is also associated with some forms of congenital heart disease, such as Ebstein's anomaly. this link may help: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/wolff-parkinson-white-syndrome/DS00923/DSECTION=causes Hope this helps.

Avatar f tn Hi jack,6954 Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition as a result of loss of melanin in the skin. The gene responsible for melanogenisis (autosomal dominant) becomes mutated. Now some studies say its spontaneous in occurs while others say its triggered by a viral infection. Unfortunately with this information does not same like anyone can guarantee that you will not pass it on to your child. Its likely 50-75% chance. Now i know with ivf they offer genetic testing. Perhaps they can look for that gene.
Avatar f tn I need an advice, my father has something like his brown skin is getting white in his below part specially on the waist and hips. I want to attach photo but there is no option here. Is theres a doctor or dermatologies or same situation who have been cured can expain me what's going on. Thanks.

Avatar n tn Marfan syndrome is a disorder of connective tissue which can affect the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, eyes, and skin. It is caused by defects in a gene called fibrillin-1 which is the building block for elastic tissue in the body. In most cases, Marfan syndrome is inherited but up to 30% of cases have no family history. Check with your doctor for proper evaluation. Regular prenatal consult is important. Take care and do keep us posted.
6710217 tn?1386110892 t cheat with a blue eyed guy, but that one you could always argue that his family carried the blue gene for multiple generations back. Hair ans skin color are more complicated as several genes effect both, but yes lighter skin and lighter hair are recessive. So if your both on the lighter side in either area the kids will most likely be so as well. Breccan's family is all tossed up as she said because her dad must be carrying a brown and a blue.
Avatar f tn My uncle is dark with dark eyes, dark hair. His wife is light skin with dark hair and eyes (but she is white) their baby came out white with blonde hair and her eyes are still grey but turning green. She is 2.
186737 tn?1269884660 I ask this because we all scar badly and I get nodules under my skin and little tumors on scars as they develop. Also, my sisters skin is crazy stretchy. She can stretch her skin out about 4 or more inches from her arm. Because there is variable expressivity, how can you know which type it is unless there is a genetic test. In some places I have read that there is a genetic test for classical and other places I have read that there is not.
