Question:

Any genetic disorder? I have a baby daughter who is now 11 weeks, she was born premature (35weeks), has her pinky fingers curved towards her thumb, as well as her legs below the knee (are also curved). I`m concerned that might be a sign of a genetic disorder..neither me or my husband have that trait... please give us some directions...any feedback is greatly appreciated thanks,
