23-year-old boy stuck in the form of

Although 23 years old but due to strange disease, over 1 year old has stopped growing so this young man was stuck in the shape of a child.

Manpreet Sing, 23, who lives in Hisar, northwestern India, is called "the little boy" because he weighs only 5kg. Manpreet has fat hands, feet and big face with rough skin.

When he was born, Manpreet was as healthy as any other child. However, this guy suddenly stopped growing completely when he was just over 1 year old, before he could go and talk.

Initially, the doctors told father Jagtar Singh 50 years old that Manpreet could grow back to normal but that did not happen, this boy was forever stuck in the shape of a little boy. '.

The medical community was also confused by Manpreet as the only person in the family who had such a situation and his younger brother and younger sister Jaspreet had developed normally both physically and intellectually.

Finally, scientists say, Manpreet probably suffers from Laron syndrome - a rare genetic condition that affects about 300 people worldwide. People with Laron disease often lack insulin - the number 1 growth hormone that stimulates cells to grow and divide to form new cells.

Because the family's economy is not very well-off, the cost of preliminary examination is too high, up to nearly 7,000 USD (equivalent to 114 million VND) so until now, Manpreet has not received specific conclusions for his situation. .
