The Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome in a Singhalese family.
The first published occurrence of the Laurence-Moon-Biedl Syndrome in a Singhalese family is reported. Three members of a family of six with first cousin non-affected parents are described along with studies to indicate that the hypogonadism in this family can be ascribed to hypogonadotrophism. The high incidence of congenital heart disease and genito-urinary abnormalities noted by other is confirmed.
