The baffled couple have still not managed to find an explanation for the genetic mix-up three years after the youngster, Emmanuel, was born.

The baby girl is to undergo full genetic tests after doctors said the odds of her white colouring were "between many millions to one and a million to one."

A new study has found that ADHD may be caused by alterations in the serotonin neurotransmission system combined with a tendency to experience psychosocial distress.

Mum Nkemakonam, 34, also said nurses gathered round in amazement when she gave birth to Emmanuel in February 2007.
