-Nuit’s corruption of human blood works similarly, to some degree, as that of other demons from the Outer Darkness.  Being a goddess more aligned with the night and death, her minions walk a line between the living and the dead.  However, while her curse affects the spirit and is spiritual in essence, blood is a physical corporeal substance native to the Physical World.  Like all genetic material in this chaotic place, every time a vampire forms, there stands a chance for mutation within their strain.  Oftentimes, on these rare occurrences, the afflicted vampire obtains a singularly useful ability- perhaps to shape-shift or to sexually reproduce.  In some cases, due to circumstances in a given area or population, a vampire strain might spread like wildfire.  It could also be that people of certain descent and DNA might be more prone to become particularly affected by strains of vampirism.
