The beauty model has two kinds of skin, and the same model has two different skin colors. How does this strange scene come into being? The reason is that chimera is working, so how many cases do you know in the world?
'when I was about six years old, I often asked my mother if I had twins, and she was confused about that. I even want to play twin games with my little friend, such as wearing the same clothes and so on. 'at that time, although she didn't know about chimera, she knew that she was different in some places. Tyler Millin, 33, an American model and singer, is a rare chimeric patient with two sets of immune systems, blood flow patterns and her sister's DNA. What's more, her skin color also shows two colors.
Chimera is an extremely rare medical symptom. It is a phenomenon that an individual consists of two or more embryos from different fertilized eggs. Most of the chimeras have only internal symptoms or little external traces. However, the skin color on the left and right sides of mirin's abdomen is obviously different, which is rare.
Before seeing a TV documentary about chimeras in 2009, Millin didn't know that her 'birthmark' was a distinctive sign of this rare chimera. Millin said she was fascinated by the question of whether she had twins in her childhood. She said: 'when I was almost six years old, I often asked my mother if I had twins. She was confused. I even want to play twin games with my little friend, such as wearing the same clothes and so on. 'at that time, although she didn't know about chimera, she knew that she was different in some places.
In addition to having different skin colors, Millin is very weak. She often has cold, headache and abnormal menstruation. She was stunned when she recalled seeing the documentary in 2009.
Because there are different immune systems on both sides of the body, one is allergic to metals, the other is not. During the flu season, her immune systems were severely weakened on both sides because they were 'fighting' against each other.
Since the diagnosis, Millin has tried to face and understand her symptoms. She said she didn't want to be a human experiment or be seen as a circus clown. I usually cover up the trace. But now she's willing to accept it, and she's confident about her differences, and she wants people to realize her beauty.
Because mosaicism is very rare, most of the patients with mosaicism are only found by DNA examination. However, the second gene can only be detected from some specific organs, so it is difficult to know exactly how many chimeras there are in the world, estimated to be about 100.
