The most likely response to this from a scientifically-ignorant community would be that this deformity was a sign of punishment from 'higher powers'. People used to believe that the gods were punishing them for bad behaviour when a physical disorder occured. Other possibilities include that the person has been cursed, or that the person was a bad luck omen.
