More info A Scots baby who lost weight in the womb is the only child in the world with a rare condition which causes her to have up to 34 seizures a day. Minnie Granger, two, was born weighing just 4lbs 4oz at 37 weeks - after doctors noticed she had lost 80g in the womb. Her mum Hannah, 29, was forced to have an induced pregnancy before the tiny tot was taken for genetic testing and diagnosed with very rare chromosome deletion and 21 missing genes.
Parents Hannah and Gavin, who is 30 and works as a mechanic, then discovered that no one else in the world on the database had the same gene and chromosome mutation as their little girl. The condition causes Minnie to suffer with life-limiting severe epilepsy which is causing brain damage. The family, from Glasgow, don't know how long she'll have left but want to make as many memories as they still can.
Hannah, a full-time carer for Minnie, said: "Minnie is a miracle and Minnie's life matters. We were advised that no-one on the genetic database has the same gene and chromosome mutation as Minnie - meaning she is the only person in the world. "She is one of a kind.
Every seizure Minnie has takes away some sort of development. She's such a good wee girl. She's got loads of personality.
