These siblings have a unique thing in common despite having been born more than a decade apart.

An uncommon genetic disorder called albinism results in a lack of pigmentation in the skin, eyes, and/or hair, giving albinos a distinctive appearance:

An albino child is quite uncommon… So it’s amazing that a Kazakh couple had not one but two albino children who were born 12 years apart.

Meet Asel and Kamila, the remarkably distinctive siblings who have become sought-after models:

At age 14, Asel is the elder sibling. When she was born albino, her mother, Aiman Sarkitova, stated she was shocked.

Genetics were less advanced when she gave birth to her oldest child. She told the Daily Mail. “It’s just starting to develop. The physicians were astounded.

Imagine their shock when Kamila was born with the same problem 12 years later.

These two siblings together make for a unique, striking sight, so they joined forces and started a modeling partnership.

Asel has been modeling since she was ten years old, but with her 2-year-old sister by her side, her popularity has increased. On Instagram, the two have amassed over 33,000 followers.

Albinism has helped them succeed greatly, but it’s not always simple. Sensitivity to sunlight is one of the illnesses connected to the disorder.

“I apply sunscreen, put on clothes to protect my skin, wear headgear, or use an umbrella if I go outside in the afternoon,” Asel added.

It’s much simpler for me in the evening when there is almost no sun.

They will, however, always have one other, no matter what challenges life throws at them.

Albinos often feel alone because the condition is so uncommon, but these two sisters are fortunate in that they will always have a relative who shares their condition.

And ideally, their success as models will raise awareness of albinism and demonstrate how incredibly attractive albinos can be.
