Baby born with 31 fingers, toes

A COUPLE in Hunan, China is appealing for financial help for their three-month-old son who is suffering from a genetic disorder called polydactylism.

The boy, named Hong Hong, was born with 31 fingers and toes — eight fingers on his left hand, seven on his right, and eight toes on each of his foot. Moreover, he has two palms on both hands.

Apparently, the genetic disorder is hereditary because the boy’s mother also suffers from the same disorder, having one extra finger on her toes and feet. But this did not deter her from taking a job as a textile worker in a factory in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, according to a report by The Telegraph.
