A shocking case of a baby girl, born with arms and legs missing in Madhya Pradesh, has bewildered doctors across the country. The baby was delivered on June 26, by her 28-year-old mother in the Sakla Village of Sironj Tehsil in the Vidisha district.

The baby was reportedly born with an autosomal recessive congenital disorder, called Tetra-Amelia, characterised by the absence of all four limbs. The syndrome is extremely rare, which is caused by mutations in the WNT3 gene (Protein Coding gene – which plays critical roles in development before birth).

Dr Suresh Aggarwal, Paediatrician at Rajiv Gandhi Smriti Hospital, Sironj, informed that, despite born with no limbs, the baby is otherwise perfectly healthy.

According to Dr Prabhakar Tiwari, Bhopal Chief Medical Health Officer (CMHO) and paediatrician, the syndrome affects one in 100,000 new-borns. He said that this is the first time he has seen it in his career. The doctors suggest that the baby will be taken in for further assessments to check if her internal organs have developed as normal.
