Alexandria syndrome: the "rare condition" of violet eyes

You may not have heard much about Alexandria syndrome, also known as Alexandria Genesis, a rare condition that is credited with the ability to cause a person to develop purple eyes, among other symptoms.

What is Alexandria syndrome?

It is the consequence of a genetic mutation that turns people into human beings with extraordinary qualities.

As a consequence of this mutation, the eyes would turn violet, the skin extremely light (which curiously does not burn with sun exposure) and the hair turns dark brown, although they do not have body hair. The curious thing is that these people are attributed unique abilities, since women do not have a menstrual cycle but can have children, their immune systems are insurmountable, their well-proportioned bodies never gain weight and on top of that they appear 5 or 10 years younger.

Certainly, this story does not seem very true, but it seems less true when one learns that the life expectancy of these people would be 120-150 years. And is that much of the myths about this phenomenon have to do with its evolution.

¿Cómo se desarrolla esta supuesta condición?

Apparently people with Alexandria syndrome are born with blue eyes, but after six months and due to the genetic mutation, they turn into violets. This condition usually occurs, especially in Caucasian people. During puberty, the tone becomes darker. But the color of the eyes, although it may be striking, is not the most disturbing thing in this story. For example, that despite the pale hue of their skin, these people do not burn in the sun.

This story that could seem more like a subject related to superstition and fears about witchcraft that is still alive today. Some advocates of the existence of this syndrome believe that the American actress Elizabeth Taylor presented this disorder. It turns out that Taylor had dark blue eyes, and depending on how the light hits them they looked violet.

Does Alexandria syndrome exist?

The scientific community seems to agree that Alexandria syndrome is nothing more than an Internet-originated myth.

Although the appearance of people with violet eyes is possible (as, for example, in cases of extreme albinism), the set of symptoms associated with this mutation could not occur in real life.

there are some data that say that there are 6 cases of this syndrome confirmed
