5個月大男嬰身負狼人基因 家族遺傳令母親心碎

Rolling around on the carpet like any five-month-old, it's obvious this baby boy has inherited the rare Werewolf Family gene.

雖然和其他正常的5個月的嬰兒一樣在地毯上打滾，但顯然，這個男嬰遺傳了罕見的"狼人家族"基因。

The thick black hair that already covers his back, arms and legs is caused by a one in a billion condition known as hypertrichosis universalis.

濃厚的黑色毛髮已經覆蓋了他的背部、手臂以及雙腿，引起這種症狀的疾病是發病率爲十億分之一的全身性多毛症。

Mum Manisha Sambhaji Raut, 22, from Pune, central India, is heartbroken her son has inherited the same genetic condition as her and her two sisters Savita, 30, and Savitri, 19.

男嬰的母親瑪尼沙·桑巴吉·勞特今年22歲，來自印度中部城市浦那，她對此感到心碎不已，因爲她的兒子遺傳了她和自己的兩個姐妹--30歲的姐姐薩維塔與19歲的妹妹薩維特里--同樣的遺傳特徵。

She said: "I always felt disgusted when I saw myself in the mirror and now wonder how my child will cope with the same trauma."

她說："當我照鏡子看到自己時就總是覺得很噁心，現在我不知道我的孩子該怎樣面對同樣的痛苦。"

"But he is my baby and I will love him unconditionally the way my mother took care of me, no matter how he looks."

"但是他是我的孩子，無論他長得什麼樣，我都會像我母親愛我一樣無條件地愛他。"

"My only wish is that my child will grow up like a normal child. We were locked away because people couldn't cope with the way we looked. I only hope people will be different and kinder towards my son."

"我唯一的願望就是我的孩子可以像正常孩子一樣健康成長。因爲人們不知道該如何面對我們的容貌，所以我們曾被他們所疏遠。我只希望人們能夠以不同的方式，或者更加善良地對待我的兒子。"

There is no known cure for Werewolf Syndrome and all Manisha and her sisters have been able to do is slather themselves in removal cream every few days.

目前狼人綜合症還沒有已知的治療方法，瑪尼沙和她的姐妹現在能夠做的只能是每隔幾天就塗上厚厚的脫毛膏來脫毛。

Manisha and husband had an arranged marriage on May 25, last year, and are overjoyed at becoming parents but Manisha's mother-in-law is devastated her grandson has the Werewolf Syndrome.

瑪尼沙和她的丈夫在去年5月25日由包辦婚姻而結合到一起，他們很高興能夠爲人父母，然而瑪尼沙的婆婆對於孫子患有狼人綜合症一事感到極爲震驚。

"My husband is very supportive and loves his son but my mother-in–law is not happy," Manisha said.

"我的丈夫很支持兒子，也深愛着兒子，但是我的婆婆並不開心，"瑪尼沙說道。

"She keeps moaning that he is not good or a beautiful baby. She says he is ugly and looks like a monkey. I feel angry and hurt but there is nothing I can do."

"她總是抱怨我的兒子不好、不是一個漂亮的寶寶。她說他很醜，看着就像只猴子。我感到又生氣又受傷，但是除此之外無能爲力。"
