Biemond syndrome

This syndrome is similar to Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS). http://omim.org/entry/210350

The Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a ciliopathic human genetic disorder that produces many effects and affects many body systems. It is characterized principally by obesity, retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly, hypogonadism, and kidney failure in some cases.[1] Historically, mental retardation has been considered a principal symptom but is now not regarded as such.
