They may have been born more than a decade apart, but these siblings still have one remarkable thing in common.<\/p>\n
Albinism is a rare genetic disorder that causes a lack of pigmentation in the skin, eyes and\/or hair, giving albino people a unique look:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s very rare to have an albino child\u2026 which makes it remarkable that one Kazakh couple had not one, but two albino children 12 years apart.<\/p>\n
Meet Asel and Kamila, the incredibly unique siblings that have turned into in-demand models:<\/p>\n
Asel is the older sibling at 14. Her mother, Aiman Sarkitova, said she was stunned when she was born albino.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I gave birth to my eldest, genetics were not so developed with us,\u201d she told the Daily Mail. \u201cIt is developing only now. The doctors were shocked.\u201d<\/p>\n
Imagine their surprise when, 12 years later, Kamila was born with the same condition.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an incredible, striking sight to see these two siblings together\u2014so the two teamed up and became a modeling duo.<\/p>\n
Asel has already been modeling since she was 10, but with her 2-year-old sister at her side she\u2019s become even more in-demand. The pair have over 33,000 followers on Instagram.<\/p>\n
While their albinism has led to big success, it\u2019s not always easy. The condition is also associated with medical conditions like a sensitivity to sunlight.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I go outside in the afternoon, then I definitely apply sunscreen, put on clothes to protect my skin, headgear or use an umbrella,\u201d Asel said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the evening, when there is almost no sun, it\u2019s much easier for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
But through whatever ups and downs life throws at them, they\u2019ll always have each other.<\/p>\n
The condition is so rare that albino people can feel alone, but these two sisters are lucky that they\u2019ll always have a family member just like them.<\/p>\n
And hopefully, their success as models will shed some light on albinism and show how uniquely beautiful albino people can be.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany people do not know what albinos are,\u201d Asel said.<\/p>\n
