Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to find the molecular basis of Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) in Pakistani consanguineous families. A total of 12 affected families were enrolled. Clinical investigations were performed to access the BBS-associated phenotypes. Whole exome sequencing was conducted on one affected individual from each family. The computational functional analysis predicted the variants' pathogenic effects and modeled...
