LMBBS is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by obesity, polydactyly, retinal dystrophy, mental retardation, and hypogonadism. 1-7 Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a form of LMBBS that includes renal abnormalities and the variable presence of polydactyly and mental retardation. 1 In general, there is wide variability in the expression of features associated with LMBBS. 1-3 The estimated prevalence ranges from 1/160,000 in Switzerland to 1/17,500 in Newfoundland. 1, 2 Genetic linkage studies have demonstrated loci on chromosomes 3, 11, and 16. 2
