Little Oaklen Pearce was born with missing fingers and missing toes on all four of his limbs. (Nicole Pearce via SWNS) A young boy has baffled doctors as they think he's got a genetic disorder that's so rare it can't be diagnosed. Oaklen Pearce, two, was born with missing fingers and missing toes on all four of his limbs.
His mum Nicole Pearce, 24, says that limb differences normally just affect one limb, but all four of Oaklen's are affected. Because of this, doctors think he's got a genetic condition but they don't have the advance testing to diagnose him to find out what it actually is. Nicole said: "They have no idea to be honest.
"Normally limb differences affect just one limb, but all four of his are affected. "We are pretty much in the dark, I wonder if how it will affect him later in life. "I've got questions that can't be answered because they don't even know what it is.
" Nicole, who works at a garage, says she didn't know about her son's disorder until he was born, as it was missed on all of her ultrasounds. Oaklen Pearce. (Nicole Pearce via SWNS) She said: "I didn't know until he was born, it was somehow missed on all the scans.
"So on his left hand he's only got two fingers that are completely fused together, then he's missing fingers and is missing toes on his other limbs. "The bones are shorter on the left side of his arms and legs and he's got some problems with his hips. "It was quite worrying because I went through my pregnancy thinking everything was alright.
