Define: Kickers syndrome (Hypoderma syndrome)

A small african child with facial hair, and stubbs for fingers. They are born with obviously large feet, this is caused by a rush of blood to the limbs at birth, the feet become more enlarged during traumatic births such as the breech births. This disorder is inherited with recessive homozygous genotypes. The carrier parents most frequently have heart conditions.If both parents carry the recessive alle "k" then there is a 25% chance that the child's disordered phenotype will become present and the child will subsiquently suffer from Kickers syndrome (also known as hypoderma syndrome). Another typical trate of this mutation is that that as certain limbs do not form properly, e.g. the flanges of the meta carples and meta tarsal, others over-form. This over formation results in rapid growth of hair glands, hence the early facial hair. Due to an unexplained scientific phenomenon, the gender of the suffering child has been recored significantly more in males than females.
