Molecular genetic testing is available on a clinical basis for p.M390R, the common mutation in BBS1 that is present in approximately 18% - 32% of individuals with BBS and p.C91LfsX4 (also known as C91fsX95), a common mutation in BBS10, that is present [scielo.br]

This karyotype, present in between 1-2 per thousand male births, is variable in its presentation, and frequently passes unnoticed; the usual clinical presentation is with hypogonadism or infertility. [diapedia.org]

• Weight Gain

  Abnormal weight gain typically begins in early childhood and continues to be an issue throughout life. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

  Significant weight gain begins in infancy and becomes a lifelong issue. [mjdrdypu.org]

  Everyone with BBS benefits from exercise and careful attention to diet to limit weight gain. Research is ongoing into understanding the basic mechanisms at the cellular level that ultimately cause BBS. [bardetbiedl.org]

  Cognitive impairment (50-61%) - learning difficulties, speech deficits and behavioural problems, including autistic traits and psychosis, have all been described. [patient.info]

• Behavior Problem

  We referred the patient to a counselor for behavioral problems. There is no proven effective treatment to either prevent or improve the outcome in vision. [mjdrdypu.org]

  Additional features of Bardet-Biedl syndrome can include impaired speech, delayed development of motor skills such as standing and walking, behavioral problems such as emotional immaturity and inappropriate outbursts, and clumsiness or poor coordination [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

  Typical neurological manifestations of BBS include speech and hearing deficits, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, ataxia with poor coordination, gait abnormalities, and spastic motor deficiencies of the limbs. [3] Among them, [1], [3] learning [ijoonline.com]

• Dysphasia

  A speech examination identified congenital developmental dysphasia caused by endogenic factors. The girl had a perceptive-expressive disorder with a speech development delay. [omicsonline.org]

• Convulsions

  The patient experienced tonic muscle tension of the whole body without convulsion followed by crying. Neurological examination revealed neurodevelopmental retardation and physical sluggishness, without distinct central nervous system focal injuries. [omicsonline.org]

• Clitoromegaly

  During the subsequent diagnosis a 2 nd grade virilisation of genital organs was observed: clitoromegaly, an urogenital sinus, and hydrocolpos. For this reason urine steroid profile was analysed, which excluded blocks of adrenal steroidogenesis. [omicsonline.org]

• Imperforate Hymen

  It is caused by the distension of the uterine cavity and the vagina due to an accumulation of cervical gland secretions stimulated by maternal and placental estrogen in the presence of the vaginal septation or atresia or an imperforate hymen [ 6, 16 ] [omicsonline.org]

Prognosis [ 2 ] Prognosis is very poor where renal failure occurs. Prevention [ 4 ] Genetic counselling and pre-conception genotyping of family members may be worthwhile if the genetic mutation has been identified in a family member. [patient.info]

Prognosis The renal abnormalities are the main life-threatening manifestations because they can lead to end-stage renal failure and require renal transplantation. [orpha.net]

(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome is generally guarded. [dovemed.com]

Diagnosis of the condition is important for visual prognosis and low vision management. Ophthalmologic and electrophysiological examinations are essential for confirmation and correct diagnosis of BBS (5). [scielo.br]

First, the syndrome has got grave prognosis and second, patient seek first consultation in these specialties, by whom they should be guided to appropriate super specialties. [cjhr.org]

Etiology The wide clinical spectrum observed in BBS is associated with significant genetic heterogeneity. To date, mutations in 12 different genes ( BBS1 to BBS12 ) have been identified as being responsible for this phenotype. [orpha.net]

On the basis of electroencephalography, disorders with epileptic etiology were ruled out. Ophthalmological tests showed bilateral hyperopic astigmatism. [omicsonline.org]

(Etiology) Bardet-Biedl Syndrome is generally inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder. At least 12 different genes, collectively termed as the BBS genes, are involved in the development of this disorder, in a majority of cases. [dovemed.com]
