Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS; MIM 209900) is a recessive heterogeneous ciliopathy characterized by retinitis pigmentosa (RP), postaxial polydactyly, obesity, hypogonadism, cognitive impairment and kidney dysfunction. So far, 20 BBS genes have been identified, with the last reported ones being found in one or very few families. Whole-exome sequencing was performed in a consanguineous family in which two affected...
