Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic disorder that severely inhibits primary cilia function. BBS is typified by obesity in adulthood, but pediatric weight patterns, and thus optimal periods of intervention, are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: To examine body mass differences by age, gender, and genotype in children and adolescents with BBS. METHODS: We utilized the largest international...
