General Conversation
Phocomelia disorder (PS) is an uncommon birth defect that creates severe abnormality, specifically of the top limbs. The bones of the arms, and sometimes other appendages, could be very minimized and even missing. The fingers of the hands could be integrated. A severe situation leads to the lack of the top bones of both the arms and legs to ensure that the hands as well as feet appear connected directly to the physical body. This is called tetraphocomelia.

This condition, PS, may be genetically transmitted within families as an autosomal recessive trait or could be the outcome of spontaneous (sporadic) changes in the genetics. Due to the fact that the indications of the problem so closely mimic those caused by the intake of thalidomide by pregnant females, the term “pseudo-thalidomide” is regularly utilized.
