Baby Born With 12 Fingers and 12 Toes





Miryoki Gross gave birth to baby Kamani has 6 fingers on each hand and 6 toes on each foot, a spectacularly rare case of polydactyly earlier this month January 2009 in Daly City, California. Genetic traits like these can run in families, but having extra digits that are functional, as Kamani's are, is extremely rare. His father, Kris Hubbard said some family member have had six fingers, not completely developed, but never the toes. Dr. Michael Treece and St. Luke's Hospital Pediatrician said it is merely an interesting and beautiful variation rather than a worrisome thing. Imagine what sort of a flamenco guitarist he would be, if nothing else think of his typing skills.
