The baby of incestuous couple born 'genetically compromised' tragically died just hours being welcomed into the world. The little boy was said to have suffered from numerous birth defects due to his parents being brother and sister.
Footage shows the tiny newborn crying in an incubator as a nurse wipes the dry, scaly skin on his bottom in a hospital in Dustlik, Uzbekistan. The country's minster of Health confirmed the youngster was born on June 4 with "severe congenital ichthyosis" and other "life-threatening" defects, the Mirror reports.
Ichthyosis congenita is a genetic skin disorder which causes abnormally red, dry, and rough skin with large coarse and fine white scales. His mother, born in 1994, gave birth at 35 weeks and four days with the little one arriving at just 47 centimetres (18.5 inches) long, the Uzbek Health Ministry said on June 28.
The boy was her second child, the first was born to a previous husband, and the pregnancy was normal, added the Ministry. Despite the doctors' best efforts to revive him, the newborn died just two hours and 10 minutes after he came into the world.
"It is known that in medicine it is proven that in most cases, children are born with various genetic defects due to the marriage of close relatives," the Uzbek Ministry of Health said today.
"In particular, because of such families, the unborn child may develop dangerous diseases such as congenital mental retardation, chromosomal disorders, Down syndrome, severe mental and physical retardation.
"Therefore, we ask young people who are preparing to get married, first of all, to undergo a medical examination, and then to start a new life, to avoid marriage between close relatives."
