Abstract :
Phocomelia is an extremely rare malformation in which babies are born with limbs that look like flippers on a seal. Although various factors can cause phocomelia, the prominent roots came from the drug use of thalidomide and from genetic inheritance. Phocomelia is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait with variable expressivity and malformation is linked to chromosome 8
