CONTENTS History Eye signs Obesity Learning difficulties ... Genetic Advice Treatment Rod-Cone dystrophy Polydactyly Obesity Learning difficulties ... References and useful publications HISTORY rod-cone dystrophy ), mental retardation, hypogenitalism and spastic paraparesis. Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) has as the main features RP (rod-cone dystrophy), obesity, postaxial polydactyly, learning disabilities and hypogenitalism (males). This latter subgroup represents by far the majority of published cases and is now the preferred term amongst the medical and scientific community. As there are many cases of overlap between the LMS and BBS we shall for the purposes of this publication make no distinction and therefore refer to LMBBS throughout. John Zachariah Laurence c.1870

Multiple Congenital Anomaly/Mental Retardation (MCA/MR) Syndromes View the Full Record Syndrome Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) Summary A syndrome characterized mainly by obesity, pigmentary retinopathy, polydactyly, mental retardation, hypogonadism, and renal failure in fatal cases. Two forms have been identified: Bardet-Biedl syndrome 1 (BBS1) has no linkage to chromosome 16 Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2 (BBS2) is mapped to markers on chromosome 16. Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome and Laurence-Moon-Biedl-Bardet syndrome are no longer considered as valid terms in that patients of Laurence and Moon had paraplegia but no polydactyly and obesity which are the key elements of the Bardet-Biedl the syndrome. Laurence-Moon syndrome is a separate entity. Major Features Eyes: Pigmentary retinopathy. Hand and foot: Polydactyly. Cardiovascular system: Hypertrophy of interventricular septum and left ventricle and dilated cardiomyopathy. Gastrointestinal system: Fibrosis. Urogenital system: Hypogonadism, renal failure, urogenital sinuses, ectopic urethra, uterus duplex, septate vagina, and hypoplasia of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Growth and development: Mental and growth retardation.

Characteristics are rod/cone dystrophy (atypical retinitis pigmentosa - a progressive eye condition which can lead to blindness (see Visual Impairment )); obesity (usually with an early onset and resistant to treatment); polydactyly (extra fingers and/or toes); hypogenitalism (underdeveloped genitals); mild to severe learning difficulties. Usually four out of these five features are required to make the diagnosis. In addition, there are other important characteristics which need to be taken into account: kidney malformations and renal dysfunction; developmental delay; speech difficulties; diabetes mellitus and, rarely, diabetes insipidus; hepatic fibrosis and other hormonal deficiencies. In the Middle-East and island communities such as Newfoundland, the condition is relatively common, occurring at rates of 1 in 13,500 of the population. In Europe and the UK the prevalence is much less common owing to lower consanguinity. The figure is probably around 1 in 100,000 of the population. Although BBS is not common it is certainly under diagnosed. As awareness of the condition increases, the number of people identified is growing every year.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome is often confused with Laurence-Moon syndrome. Individuals with Laurence-Moon syndrome almost always experience neurologic problems but rarely polydactyly. Polydactyly is a defining feature of Bardet-Biedl syndrome, while neurologic problems almost never occur. Laurence-Moon syndrome is extremely rare; only a few case have been documented. Because of the similarity of these syndromes, Bardet-Biedl syndrome is often referred to as Laurence-Moon Bardet-Biedl syndrome or Laurence-Moon/Biedl syndrome.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a complex disorder that affects many parts of the body including the retina. Individuals with Bardet-Biedl syndrome have a retinal degeneration similar to retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Clinical Description The diagnosis of Bardet-Biedl syndrome is usually confirmed in childhood when visual problems due to RP are discovered. The first symptom of RP is night blindness. Night blindness makes it difficult to see in low light levels. RP then causes progressive loss of peripheral (side) vision. Peripheral vision loss is often referred to as tunnel vision. Individuals with Bardet-Biedl syndrome also experience central vision loss during childhood or adolescence. RP symptoms progress rapidly and usually lead to severe visual impairment by early adulthood.

Disorder Zone Archives Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl Syndrome Sabrina Parker Introduction Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndrome (LMBBS) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by obesity, retinal degeneration, extra digits on the hands and feet, and intellectual impairment. In an autosomal recessive disorder, both parents must be carriers of the defective gene and both must pass on the defect to the child in order for the child to be affected. If both parents carry the defective gene responsible for causing LMBBS, they have a 1 in 4 chance of having a child with the syndrome. In 1993, the gene responsible for LMBBS was located on chromosome 16q21 (type 2). Shortly thereafter, another gene on chromosome 11q13 (type 1) was identified. Since then, two others were found on chromosomes 3p12 (type 3) and 15q22 (type 4). The most common form of LMBBS is type 1 and the most rare form is type 3. It is expected, however, that another gene that causes the syndrome also exists because there are identified cases that have none of these four defects. The occurrence rate varies in different parts of the world. In regions such as Kuwait, the occurrence is 1 in 13,500 due to a high frequency of inter-family marriages. British studies, on the other hand, show the prevalence to be 1 in 160,000. While this syndrome is considered rare, it is suspected that there is a major problem with under-diagnosis. Features and Characteristics Following is a list of characteristics that have been seen in children with LMBBS. Not all children will exhibit all of these features:

Major features of these disorders may include mental retardation, obesity, delayed sexual development or underdeveloped reproductive organs, progressive pigmentary degeneration of the retinas of the eyes, kidney abnormalities in structure or function, and/or abnormal or extra fingers and/or toes. Confusion exists in the medical literature regarding the difference between Bardet-Biedl Syndrome and Laurence-Moon Syndrome. Symptoms The Bardet-Biedl Syndromes are also frequently characterized by abnormalities of the numbers of fingers and/or toes (digits) as well as obesity that is often limited to the trunk. Digital abnormalities may include extra fingers and/or toes (polydactyly), webbing of certain digits (syndactyly) (characteristically the second and third toes), and/or abnormal shortness of the digits (brachydactyly) compared to the palm length. In addition, the feet tend to be unusually short, broad, and flat, with no arch.
