She stayed the same size for 15 years and required constant care. Her mental abilities were constant to that of a one year old. Doctors termed her condition as Syndrome X. Scientists are using her genetic code to try to find breakthroughs for diseases such as Parkinsons.\r

8. 6-year-old Tess suffers from a condition that apparently only seven other people in the world are known to share. There is no name for the condition and, right now, no cure. Tess suffers from developmental delay, hip dysplasia, cortical visual impairment and gastrointestinal issues. This condition was caused by a mutation of her USP7 gene. She is non-verbal and family and doctors can only guess what she is thinking or feeling.\r

7. Weve all heard of people born with an extra this or an extra that. How about an extra nipple? Actually, its not all that uncommon, as 1 in 50 women and 1 in 100 men have them. But they are almost always on the chest area. A 22-year-old woman, however, has an extra nipple on the bottom of her left foot. It is fully formed, surrounded by an areola and tiny hairs, just what you would normally find around a nipple. Its the only case known of a nipple being found that far down on a body.\r

But after years of worrying whether he would make it from one year to the next, the or has a lot to look forward to in the Australian soap Neighbors, where he went from being an extra to being cast in a much larger role.\r

5. Melanie Gaydos is a model. But she is a very different model. She suffers from a rare genetic condition that causes growth abnormalities. It affects the growth of her teeth, pores, cartilage, nails and small bones. She also has a bilateral cleft palette and alopecia, which stops hair growth. Ingrown hairs in her eyes as a child caused cornea damage and partial blindness. But even with all of that, a boyfriend convinced her to get into modeling. And right now, shes quite the hot commodity.\r

4. Deepak Paswaan, of Bihar, India, was called the devil when he would walk around. Because he spent much of his youth carrying around two legs that fully protruded from his chest area, as well as partially formed arms. It was known as his parasitic twin. But the freakish limbs were removed by doctors for free to help out the boy and his family. Today, Deepak is completely healthy.\r

3. Men might tell some tall tales about certain things… like how big that fish was. But its not too often one will say he has two penises… and mean it. An unidentified man, although he is believed to be living in the United States, was born with diphallia, a rare congenital condition with causes him to have two penises. or would that be peni? They both functionally as normal and can be as much as 7 inches when aroused. He claims to be bi-ual and is in a relationship with both a man and a woman…. One for each, I guess.\r
