Abstract

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic condition, characterized by ciliary protein dysfunction, leading to multi-organ damage. People with BBS can develop early-onset severe obesity and associated problems including the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. Weight management can be challenging with the lack of effective medical therapies so far. We report a patient with BBS who underwent successful weight reduction through the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists.
