Visual function in Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndrome. A survey of 26 cases.
In 1984, 32 persons with Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndrome (LMBB syndrome) were registered in Norway. Of these, 26 stayed for 10 days at the Frambu Health Centre, where they consulted a pediatrician, a psychologist, a dentist, a social worker, a geneticist, a teacher for the blind and an ophthalmologist. The ocular examination showed the eye disease in cases of LMBB syndrome to be homogeneous and fulminant tapetoretinal degeneration of the retinitis pigmentosa type.
