How about albinism as a Neanderthal trait? I’ve known a bunch and they all look pretty Neanderthalish.

Albinism is usually inherited as a double recessive in a gene required for getting pigmentation in the skin. Most albino's are not born of albino's but born of people with pigment who carry the recessive trait. Albinism is a very serious trait and it is doubtful that Neanderthals had it in any greater proportion than the human population.
