✦ Synopsis

During routine ERG testing of a patient with Bardet-Biedl syndrome, we encountered an ERG anomaly not previously reported. A white flash which produced a response during light adaptation would produce no ERG when the retina was darkadapted. Possible explanations for this phenomenon are discussed;

The Bardet-Biedl syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder of polydactyly, obesity, tapetoretinal degeneration, mental retardation, hypogenitalism, and renal involvement. A high incidence of congenital and acquired heart disease was reported in the former "Laurence-Moon-Biedl-Bardet" syndrome. How

However, the functions of primary cilia have not been extensively studied in these cells, particularly chondrocytes. Interestingly, defects in the primary cilium result in skelet

There are at least five distinct Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) loci, four of which have been mapped: 11q (BBS1), 16q (BBS2), 3p (BBS3), and 15q (BBS4). A comparative study of the three Arab-Bedouin kindreds used to map the BBS2, BBS3, and BBS4 loci suggests that the variability in the number and sever

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
