Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), an autosomal recessive ciliopathy with pleiotropic effects, manifests as a spectrum of anomalies involving multiple genes and affects fewer than 3,000 individuals in the USA. Due to its rarity and phenotypic variability, early diagnosis of BBS poses a significant challenge. Therefore, we aim to shed light on the intrafamilial phenotypic variation of BBS resulting from a variant by delineating the clinical presentation in two siblings.
巴德-比埃尔综合征(BBS)是一种具有多效性的常染色体隐性遗传性纤毛病,表现为一系列涉及多个基因的异常,在美国受影响的个体不到3000人。由于其罕见性和表型变异性,BBS的早期诊断面临重大挑战。因此,我们旨在通过描述两名兄弟姐妹的临床表现,来阐明由一种变异导致的BBS家族内表型变异。
