Indian Boy Breaks World Record 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, according to a spokesman for Guinness World Records.
The child, from Uttar Pradesh in northern India, has since had a series of surgeries to amputate the excess digits.The condition is known as polydactyly, a genetic disorder which can be inherited and gives rise to excess digits.
The boy has broken the world record of having 34 fingers..WOW!

 Akshat was born last year without thumbs so doctors are working to reconstruct these out of the fingers they have removed.
