bardet biedl -- centripetal obesity ,polydactyly, retinitis pigmentosa, hypogonadism,w/o neurological abnormalities (mental retardation)

lawrence moon biedl has similar features with neurologial abnormalities (mental retardation) and polydactyly is very rare

inheritance is autosomal recessive
im not very sure but i think ch 15(morbid obesity), 3(polydactyly) and 16 r involved
