Extractions: Laurence Moon Bardet Biedl Society Registered Charity Number 1027384 The Society co-operates with genetic research projects with the aim of mapping the LMBBS genes and learning more about the complex nature of the Syndrome. The rare nature of the Syndrome makes co-ordination of such a project difficult which is why the work of the Society is so valuable. The latest article to appear in a medical journal was written by Dr Philip Beales in conjuction with others including our very own Drina Parker. It is detailed below and a pdf version of the paper can be found at the Journal Of Medical Genetics (J Med Genet 1999;36:437-446) Abstract (J Med Genet 1999;36:437-446) Keywords: Bardet-Biedl syndrome; diagnosis; renal malformation; heterozygotes Thanks largely to members of the Society completing a comprehensive questionnaire, Dr Philip Beales' 1997 survey on LMBB Syndrome proved to be the most significant survey on the Syndrome that has ever been conducted. Surveys such as this are important to all concerned in building up accurate knowledge of the Syndrome, particularly for the medical profession and carers. Following Dr Beales' successful survey, last July we published the most comprehensive description ever produced of Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl Syndrome in the medical booklet

Health-Related Disorders in Children and Adolescents contains succinct, up-to-date reviews of 96 medical conditions that describe the educational, psychological, and behavioral challenges that those involved in the care of children must respond to. This volume covers many poorly understood disorders (like Laurence-Moon syndrome and Rett syndrome), as well as more commonly occurring ones (like ear infections, cerebral palsy, and sickle-cell anemia). This volume is a resource for practitioners and medical professionals. Each chapter reviews the etiology of the disorder, which is followed by a section on the expected behavioral and physical outcomes. Next, authors describe psychoeducational implications and cover interventions that school psychologists, school-based professionals, and medical professionals can use to help ease the suffering of these children. The practical value of each chapter is enhanced by inclusion of an annotated bibliography, a list of resources for support organizations and informa-tion centers, and clear definitions for complex medical terminology. School personnel will also find this an invaluable resource and useful bibliographic tool to help educate parents on the problems their chlldren are facing.

Extractions: AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 58/No. 1 (July, 1998) ... Patient Information An important part of well-child care is the assessment of a child's growth. While growth in the vast majority of children falls within normal percentile ranges on standard growth curves, an occasional child demonstrates worrisome deviations in weight, height or head size. A single growth percentile value at any particular point in a child's life is only of limited usefulness to the physician. More important is the child's rate of growth. Children whose growth parameters are at the extremes of the growth curve but whose growth rates are normal are likely to be healthy. Conversely, accelerated or slowed growth rates are rarely normal and warrant further evaluation. This article addresses the initial steps to be taken when evaluating children with suspected growth abnormalities, the guiding principles that apply to all growth problems, and the most common growth curve deviations and approaches to their management. W hile growth in nearly all children falls within normal percentile ranges on standard growth curves, an occasional child deviates in weight, height or head size. Before addressing these common growth curve deviations, the physician must consider the following four principles of growth assessment to determine if an abnormality is present.

The Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a a syndrome characterized mainly by obesity , pigmentary retinopathy polydactyly mental retardation hypogonadism , and renal failure in fatal cases. The syndrome is named after Georges Bardet and Arthur Biedl Two forms have been identified: 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. Laurence-Moon syndrome is a separate entity. edit Eyes: Pigmentary retinopathy.
