Journalist interviews the father of Somali child with blue eyes.

Dude doesn’t have hearing loss or any of the other symptoms. Some of his siblings have lighter colored eyes too. I don’t think it’s Waardenburg syndrome just random genetics.

The symptoms are on a spectrum, ranging from extremely minor to more severe issues like hearing loss. We have the genetics for hazel and even green eyes, but not for blue eyes. Any Somali with blue eyes has them due to Waardenburg syndrome.
