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.

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.
