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
Inherited retinal dystrophies are a major cause of childhood blindness. Here, we describe the identification of a homozygous frameshift mutation (c.1194_1195delAG, p.Arg398Serfs*9) in TUB in a child from a consanguineous UK Caucasian family investigated using autozygosity mapping and whole-exome
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
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. BBS is predominantly characterized by dysmorphic distal extremities, obesity, structural abnormalities or functional impairment of the kidney, rod cone dystrophy, and varying degrees
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare heterogeneous autosomal recessive disorder characterized by rod-cone dystrophy, postaxial polydactyly, truncal obesity, hypogonadism, learning disability, and renal anomaly that are caused by ciliary dysfunction. 16 genes have been associated with the BBS
The presence of hydrometrocolpos and postaxial polydactyly in a neonate can be caused by two genetic conditions; namely, McKusick-Kaufman syndrome and Bardet-Biedl syndrome. There are no distinct clinical features that allow discrimination between the two syndromes, as the cardinal features of
Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous multisystem disorder that causes severe visual impairment. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), hypogonadism, digit and renal anomalies, obesity, and a variable degree of mental retardation characterize the disorder. Eight different loci have been
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare, autosomal-recessive, debilitating genetic disorder, which can present with multitudinous systemic clinical features including rod-cone dystrophy, polydactyly, Frohlich-like central obesity, mental retardation, hypogonadism, and renal anomalies. Diverse
The Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare inherited ciliopathy, which is accompanied by retinal disease, i.e. rod-cone dystrophy (retinitis pigmentosa, RP) and other symptoms, especially truncal obesity, polydactyly, renal abnormalities as well as reduced intelligence or learning difficulties. 25
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare, developmental disorder characterized by six major symptoms: rod-cone dystrophy, obesity, polydactyly, renal abnormalities, learning difficulties, and hypogonadism. Secondary features include cardiac and hepatic anomalies, metabolic disturbancies, and hearing
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by rod-cone dystrophy, polydactyly, central obesity, mental retardation, and hypogonadism. Although many organs are involved in BBS, hyperammonemia caused by portal hypertension has been reported previously in only a single
Laurence Moon Bardet Biedl Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. Consanguineous marriage is usually the common cause. Principal features of Bardet Biedl Syndrome are red cone dystrophy, obesity, polydactyl, hypogonadism and renal anomalies. The diagnosis was overlooked in our patient until he came in
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare congenital ciliopathy characterised by rod-cone dystrophy, postaxial polydactyly, central obesity, mental retardation, hypogonadism and renal dysfunction. A 45-year-old Indian man presented with New York Heart Association class 2 dyspnoea of 3 months duration.
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive condition with a wide spectrum of clinical features. The principal manifestations are rod-cone dystrophy (sometimes called atypical retinitis pigmentosa), postaxial polydactyly, central obesity, mental retardation, hypogonadism, and renal
Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized primarily by rod-cone dystrophy, postaxial polydactyly, central obesity, mental retardation, hypogonadism, and renal dysfunction. We present two cases of this syndrome, both female, who presented with complaints of
