ABSTRACT

The Laurence Moon Biedl syndrome (LMBS), a rare autosomal recessive disorder, is characterized by obesity, mental retardation, retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly, and hypogenitalism. Other systemic features include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hepatic fibrosis and structural abnormalities of the kidney or functional impairment. End stage renal failure is the most frequent cause of death. We present a 21-year-old LMBS patient presenting with end stage renal disease.
