Abstract

Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive ciliopathic disorder affecting multiple organ systems. The main clinical features are marked central obesity, retinal dystrophy, polydactyly, mental retardation, hypogonadism, and renal dysfunction. It affects both males and females. Herein, we report an interesting case of BBS with features of the BBS yet without cone-rod dystrophy, which is considered one of the hallmark features of this condition. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of Bardet–Biedl syndrome with the absence of cone-rod dystrophy and a normal fundus examination on the Indian subcontinent. Key words: Bardet–Biedl syndrome; Ciliopathic disorder; Polydactyly
