UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷⁶ Bardet-Biedl syndrome 21: A form of Bardet-Biedl syndrome, a syndrome characterized by usually severe pigmentary retinopathy, early-onset obesity, polydactyly, hypogenitalism, renal malformation and mental retardation. Secondary features include diabetes mellitus, hypertension and congenital heart disease. Bardet-Biedl syndrome inheritance is autosomal recessive, but three mutated alleles (two at one locus, and a third at a second locus) may be required for clinical manifestation of some forms of the disease.

MalaCards based summary : Bardet-Biedl Syndrome 21, also known as bbs21, is related to bardet-biedl syndrome 2 and bardet-biedl syndrome 10. An important gene associated with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome 21 is C8orf37 (Chromosome 8 Open Reading Frame 37). Affiliated tissues include heart, kidney and uterus, and related phenotypes are obesity and delayed speech and language development

OMIM : ⁵⁸ BBS21 is an autosomal recessive ciliopathy characterized by obesity, postaxial polydactyly, retinal degeneration, and mild cognitive impairment (Heon et al., 2016; Khan et al., 2016). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Bardet-Biedl syndrome, see BBS1 (209900). (617406)
