<p>A mother in Burma says her baby girl&#8217;s 12 fingers and 14 toes have been no disadvantage &#8211; and she&#8217;s now grasping for a Guinness World Record.</p>
<p>Phyo Min Min Soe, 26, knew her daughter Le Yati Min had a little something extra since nearly the moment she was born.</p>
<p>&#8220;I asked the nurses whether my kid was born complete with hands and legs,&#8221; said her mother. &#8220;They replied that the baby even has more than she needs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Born with 12 fingers and 14 toes, Le may be the most &#8220;digitally enhanced&#8221; person in the world. Now, the 16-month-old girl&#8217;s family who live on the outskirts of Rangoon, are seeking a Guinness World Record to prove it.</p>
<p>Polydactylism &#8211; being born with an extra finger or toe &#8211; is fairly unusual, but it is even more rare for someone to have spare functional digits on both hands and feet as Le does.</p>
<p>Le lives with her family in a small wooden house where she runs around with seven toes on each foot.</p>
<p>Her mother said that she would be happy to see Le gain a world record, but even without that, her daughter already had a happy life, and even some natural advantages. </p>
<p>&#8220;She seems to have a stronger grip on things &#8211; so she doesn&#8217;t drop things much,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>According to the Guinness World Records website, the record for most fingers and toes for a living person is currently held by two people in India, who have 12 fingers and 13 toes each.</p>
<p>Dr Craig Camasta, a surgeon in Atlanta, Georgia, said many parents of babies with polydactylism chose to have an operation to get rid of the extra fingers or toes to avoid social stigma, but &#8220;it&#8217;s not necessary that the extra digits be removed&#8221;.</p>
