Olivia Farnsworth, a cute little girl who baffled medics when they discovered she has a strange chromosome condition that omitted the feelings of hunger, fatigue or pain from her life forever. It’s a “rarer than rare” medical condition.<\/p>\n

The UK girl Olivia is believed to be the only person in the world to exhibit the three symptoms together. It’s strange and miraculous at the same time.<\/p>\n

The strange disorder even allows her to go five to six days without sleeping and feeding. Her life is just unbelievably strange<\/a> surrounded by an unexplained science-mystery. To say, Olivia has the strange super-human abilities that attract millions of people to know her engrossing story.<\/p>\n

Although the rare condition of little Olivia is described as “chromosome 6 deletion”,<\/em> the mix of super-human abilities in such a way has never been reported before. Some of the doctors have even called her the “bionic girl”\u00a0who is made of steel and has got no sense of danger.<\/p>\n

How the symptoms of this rare medical condition started showing in Olivia’s life<\/h4>\n

In 2016, when Olivia was only 7-year-old, she once went out with her mother and got run over. Eventually, she was hit by a car and dragged about 100 feet down the road. After that terrible accident, she just got up and started walking back to her mother. She was just like, “What’s going on?”<\/p>\n

Because of the impact, she should have had severe injuries. She had a tyre mark on her chest. But her only injuries were she had no skin on her toe and hip.<\/p>\n

Also, she once fell badly and ripped her lip off and didn’t say anything to her parents. Later, she had to have major plastic surgery to correct it.<\/p>\n

What is chromosome disorder?<\/h4>\n

Chromosome abnormality or chromosome disorder is a missing, extra, or irregular portion of chromosomal DNA. People with chromosome disorders suffer from various diseases and disabilities \u2013 one common disorder is Down\u2019s Syndrome which is a genetic chromosome 21 disorder causing developmental and intellectual delays. But the case of the Bionic Girl Olivia is completely strange and more fascinating to make anyone absolutely astounded.<\/p>\n

The chromosomal deletion syndrome: What it is? And how it does affect a person?<\/h4>\n

Inside the nucleus of our each body cell are microscopic bodies called chromosomes that are responsible for the function and reproduction of each cell in our body, empowering us to live. Chromosomes are made of two large molecules or strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), actually, these strands are called the genes, that give the instructions that control over the cell\u2019s function and reproduction. To say, the genes control everything to make us live.<\/p>\n

Human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes (one pair of “sex chromosomes” that indicate the male or female and 22 pairs of “autosomes” that contain the rest of the genetic hereditary information), giving a total of 46 per cell. Hence, we normally have 23 types of chromosomes and have two copies of our each and every chromosome.<\/p>\n

Chromosomal deletion syndromes result from partially or totally deletion of a single or multi chromosome-pairs. However, chromosomal deletion syndromes typically indicate larger deletions or a total pair deletion that are visible using karyotyping<\/a> techniques. Although, some losses of the specific gene-function are also considered to be the part of Chromosome deletion, since being a smaller form of deletion or so-called ‘Chromosomal Microdeletion-syndrome’.<\/em> <\/b><\/p>\n

There are hundreds of diseases and disabilities linked to a single pair of chromosome deletion or loss of the specific genes-function. Some examples of those syndromes are cited below here:<\/p>\n
