A GENETIC mutation has caused a woman's leg to swell to more than three times its normal size. Tawheeda Jan, aged 21, from Indian Administered Kashmir was born with Lymphatic Filariasis, a condition more commonly known as elephantiasis. Elephantiasis is typically characterized by thickening of the skin and subcutaneous tissue that causes grossly enlarged and swollen limbs. The condition has affected Tawheeda since birth but has worsened over time. Sadly, Tawheeda has never been able to wear shoes, and has even had her toes amputated to try and ease her discomfort, but still faces a daily struggle with the condition.
