Abstract

Bardet Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is autosomal recessive ciliopathy. Presenting features comprise mainly retinal dystrophy, central obesity, polydactyly, mental retardation and infertility. The patient is not socially acceptable for this disease. Symptomatic rehabilitation is the only way to provide quality of life to these patients. Limited cases have been reported with the involvement of two or more siblings. Three siblings reported to our OPD with diminution of vision and mental retardation. On evaluation, all siblings met the diagnostic criteria of BBS. A multidisciplinary approach was taken for their needful rehabilitation.
