Abstract

This is a study of 3 cases of the Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndrome in two families. In one family the parents were consaguineous (first cousins). The authors studied the main symptoms and insist on the importance of the ophthalmological manifestation. No hypophyseal involvement was observed in these cases.
