Working with scientists at the University of California, professor Michel Leroux and post-doctoral fellow Oliver Blacque have discovered what molecular defects in primary cilia cause Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS). Complex hereditary disease The team's groundbreaking findings, published in the July 28, 2005 issue of the prestigious science journal Nature, “make the link between normal cilia function and health highly pertinent,” notes Leroux. “BBS patients suffer from an unusually large number of different ailments.” Obesity, blindness and kidney dysfunction are common illnesses that characterize BBS, a complex, hereditary disease that affects one in 160,000 people worldwide. Primary cilia are solitary appendages, meaning there is one per cell. They enable cells to sense chemical or physical activities in their external environment. Cilia are involved in seeing, smelling, hearing, touching, and moving fluids-for example, clearing mucous from the respiratory tract. “Some proteins linked to cilia function are essential to life,” says Leroux.

PatientPlus articles are written for doctors and so the language can be technical. However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) This genetically heterogeneous disorder has a wide spectrum of clinical features. It follows a recessive pattern of inheritance with a modifier of penetrance (6 loci on 6 different chromosomes) A high incidence is found in Newfoundland (1:17,500 versus 1:160,000 elsewhere), Bedouins (1:13,500) and the Arab population of Kuwait. Male:Female ~ 1·3:1. The principal manifestations are rod-cone dystrophy (sometimes called atypical retinitis pigmentosa polydactyly syndactyly or brachydactyly (69%); central obesity mental retardation ; and hypogonadism Renal abnormalities are seen in almost all patients (characteristically fetal lobulation and calyceal cysts /diverticula/clubbing) which may cause renal impairment and failure. Other features which may be present include hepatic fibrosis, diabetes mellitus , reproductive abnormalities, endocrine disturbances, short stature myopia strabismus , and cataracts Differential Diagnosis Laurence-Moon syndrome (where affected individuals have a spastic paraparesis but no polydactyly), Cohen syndrome (CS).

Pourrait-il nous la redonner? ou notre webmaster? Alain BRON *209900 BARDET- BIEDL SYNDROME, TEXT This condition is characterized by mental retardation, pigmentary retinopathy, polydactyly, obesity, and hypogenitalism, and has incorrectly been called LMBB (Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl) syndrome. Ammann (1970) pointed out that these features were present in the patients of Biedl (1922) and Bardet (1920), but that the patients of Laurence and Moon had a distinct disorder with paraplegia and without polydactyly and obesity (see Laurence-Moon syndrome, 245800). As indicated by Ammann's study, residual heterogeneity may exist even after the Laurence-Moon syndrome is separated. In Bedouin families in the Negev region of Israel, presumably the same kindreds as those studied by Kwitek-Black et al. (1993), Elbedour et al. (1994) performed echocardiographic evaluations of cardiac involvement in BBS. They stated that they found cardiac involvement in 50% of cases, justifying inclusion of echocardiographic examination in the clinical evaluation and follow-up of these patients. However, their table 1 gives echocardiographic abnormality in only 7 of 22 cases and these included 1 case of bicuspid aortic valve, 1 case of mild thickening of the interventricular septum, 1 case of 'moderate tricuspid regurgitation,' and 1 case of mild pulmonic valve stenosis. The occurrence of renal abnormality in 11 of the 22 patients on kidney ultrasonography was somewhat more impressive than the cardiac involvement.
