A Chinese couple in Jiangsu province were surprised when their daughter, born with typical East Asian features, began developing blonde curly hair and blue eyes from around eight months old. DNA tests confirmed she is their biological child. Family history revealed a Russian great-grandfather who likely passed recessive genes for hair and eye color that manifested in the girl. Geneticists note that traits like hair and eye color are often recessive and can reappear after several generations. Similar cases worldwide — including families in China and the UK — show how ancestral mixing can produce unexpected appearances. (DNA) (recessive gene) (great-grandfather)
