Abstract
The Bardet-Beidl and Laurence-Moon syndromes are distinct entities. The nosology of five syndromes combining ocular and/or auditory defects, mental retardation, genital hypoplasia, obesity, and digital anomalies is reviewed. A 32-month-old boy had an unusual condition that may represent a sixth entity.
