Extractions: LMBBS Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedlin oireyhtymän tunnusmerkkejä ovat liikalihavuus, psyykkinen kehitysvammaisuus , kehittymättömät sukuelimet ja silmien verkkokalvojen rappeutuminen ( Retinitis Pigmentosa ). Myös munuaisten vauriot ja raajojen jäykkyys ( spastinen paraplegia ) sekä lisävarvas kuuluvat taudinkuvaan. Sairaus on harvinainen ja periytyvä. Periytyminen tapahtuu usein 11. tai 16. kromosomin välityksellä. Jälkimmäisessä tapauksessa on ollut tapana puhua taudin 2. tyypistä. Kaikkiaan oireistoon liittyviä geenivirheitä on tavattu seuraavasti: 20p12, 16q21, 15q22.3-q23, 14q32.1, 11q13, 4q27, 3p13-p12 ja 2q31. LMBBS-sairauden kuvasi ensimmäisenä englantilainen lääkäri John Zachariah Laurence yhdessä amerikkalaisen kollegansa tri Moonin kanssa 1866. Laurence-Moonin oireyhtymä yhdistettiin myöhemmin 1900-luvun alkupuolella Bardet-Biedlin oireyhtymään , koska sairauksien piirteet näyttivät samoilta. Oireyhtymän väitetään olevan normaalia yleisempi Kuwaitin arabiväestön (beduiinit) keskuudessa.
