The prevalence of obesity in children is still rising all over the world. The most common reason for significant weight gain is a high-calorie diet and decreased physical activity. However, apart from environmental factors, genetic predisposition plays a crucial role in the pathomechanism of
A case of familial Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) in a 64-year-old woman is presented; it is characterized by abdominal obesity (BMI: 38.28; WHR: 0.98), slight mental retardation, polydactyly, pigmentary retinopathy and moderate renal failure, with insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus and severe
BACKGROUND
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a ciliopathy with extensive phenotypic variability and genetic heterogeneity. We aimed to discover the gene mutated in a consanguineous kindred with multiple cases of a BBS phenotype.
METHODS
SNP genotype data were used for linkage analysis and exome
The ciliopathies are an expanding group of disorders caused by mutations in genes implicated in the biogenesis and function of primary cilia. Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a model ciliopathy characterized by progressive retinal degeneration, obesity, polydactyly, cognitive impairment, kidney
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by broad thumbs and halluces, facial dysmorphisms, short stature, and intellectual disability. RSTS is mainly caused by de novo variants in epigenetics-associated gene, CREBBP. To date, there is no cohort study of Three affected sibs in a consanguineous family with short stature, mental retardation, downslanting palpebral fissures, ptosis and polydactyly are described. There was no hypogonadism or pigmentary retinopathy. They were thin in childhood and while two of the postpubertal sibs have a stocky build
Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations like retinal dystrophy, obesity, polydactyly, mental retardation, hypogonadism, and renal dysfunction. We report a case of 14-year-old obese boy with poor scholastic performances,
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by retinopathy, obesity, and polydactyly. So far 21 candidate genes have been discovered, and mutations of such genes can all cause the BBS phenotype. As one of the main features of the disease, the obesity in BBS has
Joubert syndrome (JS) is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive ciliopathy with 22 genes implicated to date, including a small, ciliary GTPase, ARL13B. ARL13B is required for cilia formation in vertebrates. JS patients display multiple symptoms characterized by ataxia due to the cerebellar
Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a rare human hereditary disorder associated with several features including obesity, retinopathy, renal defects, polydactyly, learning disabilities and hypogenitalism. This article discusses the abnormalities accounting for energy imbalance leading to obesity in BBS,
Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a heterogeneous autosomal recessive disorder characterized by obesity, mental retardation, polydactyly, retinitis pigmentosa and hypogonadism. Patients with this disorder also have a high incidence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and renal and cardiovascular anomalies.
Biemond syndrome type 2 (BS2) is classically regarded as a recessively inherited condition (MIM 210350) comprising mental retardation, coloboma, obesity, polydactyly, hypogonadism, hydrocephalus, and facial dysostosis. Clinically, the disorder is closely related to Bardet-Biedl syndrome. Few cases
