A baby born in San Francisco's Saint Luke's Hospital recently shocked both parents and doctors alike when it was discoverd that the newly born infant possessed multiple extra digits, a total of 12 fingers and 12 toes, all of which in full working order.
A Daly City couple is beaming after becoming the proud parents of a healthy but incredibly rare baby boy this month.Baby Kamani Hubbard has six-fully formed and functional fingers and toes on his hands and feet. It's called “polydactyly” -- extra digits -- not an uncommon genetic trait, but Bay Area doctors say they've never seen a case so remarkable."
