One of the Chinese couples from Hunan province gave birth to an unusual child, which surprised not only doctors, but the whole country. The total number of fingers on its arms and legs is 31, 7 and 8 fingers and 8 fingers on each foot. Doctors assume that his mother, who has 6 fingers and toes, transmitted her disease to him, only the baby has a stronger disease.
The family, in which the unusual baby appeared, is not rich, but after the publication of the article in the People's Daily, the doctors decided to help and carry out three complicated surgeries to remove the extra fingers of the child for a symbolic payment. It is expected that by school the child will be able to function with all limbs without problems, but under the supervision of doctors he will be up to sixteen years old.
Polydactyly in such a pronounced form is very rare, but if often the problem of extra fingers can be solved surgically, then developmental abnormalities, often, although not necessarily, accompanying this genetic mutation, are practically not completely compensated for.
