Baby Born With 34 Fingers and Toes
A little boy stunned medics after being born with 34 fingers and toes. One-year-old Akshat Saxena had seven fingers on each hand and ten toes on each foot — but no thumbs. His condition is a genetic disorder known as polydactyl. Akshat, from Uttar Pradesh, northern India, has since had surgery to remove the excess digits. And doctors are trying to construct thumbs from the fingers they amputated. Mum Amrita said: "I was so happy to see my baby as it was our first child. But later, when I saw his fingers, I was shocked and surprised." Amrita later learned that her son had broken the world record for the child with the most fingers and toes. The previous record holder was a six-year-old boy in China who had 15 fingers and 16 toes. Amrita said a friend told her that Akshat was special. She said: "He read on the internet about the baby born in China. Then he said that my boy has broken the record of having 34 fingers. "At first I was not convinced at all. It was hard to believe that my son has broken the record. "But later, he along with my husband and younger sister registered the data on the internet."  ·  · |

Re: Baby Born With 34 Fingers and Toes
The Guinness Book of World Records has confirmed the new record for 'polydactylism'. A young Indian boy has broken the world record for polydactylism – that’s the most fingers and toes – after he was born with 34 digits in March 2010. The Guinness Book of World Records has confirmed that one-year-old Akshat Saxena from Uttar Pradesh in northern India now holds the record. Polydactylism is a congenital condition. He was born with 14 fingers, seven on each hand, and 20 toes, but has since undergone surgery to remove the extra digits. He is expected to have further surgery to build thumbs, the Press Trust of India reports. His mother Amrita said she was "shock and surprised" to discover her newborn son's condition, Australia's Telegraph reports, adding that it was a family friend who told her that her son may have set a new record. Last year, a Chinese boy who previously held the record with 16 toes and 15 fingers, underwent surgery to remove the extra digits. <iframe width="640" height="510" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/k_dzkOb6Cyg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>  ·  ·  ·  · |
