Bardet Biedl syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous ciliopathy with fourteen genes currently identified. To date, mutations in BBS7 and TTC8 (BBS8) were reported in 4.2% and 2.8% of BBS families respectively. We sequenced the coding regions of BBS7 and TTC8 in 35 BBS families of diverse ancestral b
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) and Laurence-Moon syndrome (LMS) have a similar phenotype, which includes retinal dystrophy, obesity, and hypogenitalism. They are differentiated by the presence of spasticity and the absence of polydactyly in LMS. The aims of this study were to describe the epidemiology
