Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl Syndrome

Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndrome (LMBBS) is an inherited genetic condition that affects approximately 1 in 100,000 babies born. It is named after the four doctors who described the symptoms of the syndrome. Genes on chromosomes 16, 11, 3, 15, and 20 have been associated with LMBBS, but what these genes do and their roles in causing LMBBS is not yet completely known.
