Purpose To investigate complex and different phenotypes in seven Chinese patients diagnosed with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) and carrying pathogenic mutations. Methods Seven unrelated BBS patients were enrolled. Their medical and ophthalmic histories were reviewed, and comprehensive clinical examinations, such as fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, and medical imaging, were performed. A specific hereditary eye disease enrichment panel based on exome-capture technology was used to collect and amplify the protein-coding regions of 441 targeted hereditary eye disease genes, followed by high-throughput sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq platform. Results All patients exhibited the primary clinical phenotype of BBS. Seven BBS mutations were found in five patients (BBS7 in two patients, BBS10 in two patients, BBS12 in one patient), for a detection rate of 71% (5/7). The ratio of novel to known BBS mutations was 5:2. Conclusions This study showed the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of BBS patients from China, and the findings underscore the importance of obtaining comprehensive clinical observations and molecular analyses for ciliopathies.
