Abstract
Laurence-Moon-Biedl Syndrome is primarily a rare, recessively inherited genetic disorder. The cardinal features are polydactyly, obesity and retinitis pigmentosa, mental retardation, genital hypoplasia and cardiac anomalies. This spectrum may extend and may also involve renal anomalies. Here, we report a rare case of 15-year-old boy who was overweight and suffering from Laurence Moon Biedl syndrome scheduled for closure of atrial septal defect.Entities:
