Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple systems in the body. It is characterized by a combination of symptoms, including obesity, retinal degeneration, polydactyly (extra fingers or toes), and kidney abnormalities. People with BBS may also experience learning difficulties and issues with their reproductive system. The syndrome is caused by mutations in several genes, which can be inherited from parents. Diagnosis often involves a combination of clinical evaluation and genetic testing. While there is no cure for BBS, management focuses on treating the individual symptoms to improve quality of life for those affected.
