Tears As Woman Gives Birth To Baby Without Arms, Legs

A 28-year-old woman in India has given birth to a baby girl with no arms and legs in the Sakla village of Sironj Tehsil in the Vidisha district yesterday, according to local reports.

The baby was born with an autosomal recessive congenital disorder – Tetra-Amelia – which is characterized by the absence of all four limbs.

Footage shows a woman holding the baby which is missing both its arms and legs and is wrapped in a blanket.

Dr Suresh Aggarwal, a pediatrician at Rajiv Gandhi Smriti Hospital, Sironj, said the baby is perfectly healthy.

Doctors suggest the baby will be taken in for further assessments to check if her internal organs have developed properly.

Tetra-Amelia syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the WNT3 gene and is extremely rare.
