Mutation profile of BBS genes in Iranian patients with Bardet–Biedl syndrome: genetic characterization and report of nine novel mutations in five BBS genes
PMID: 24849935
Gene: BBS7
HGNC: 18758
Disease: Bardet-Biedl syndrome 7
MONDO: 0014435
InheritancePattern: autosomal recessive
Prevalence: The prevalence of BBS7 variants among Bardet-Biedl syndrome cohorts has been reported at 4.2% (PMID: 19402160), while the prevalence of Bardet-Biedl syndrome overall has been estimated between 1 in 13,500 and 1 in 160,000 live births, depending on the population (PMID: 22713813).
Penetrance: The penetrance of the phenotype among homozygous cases appears to be complete.
