Comprehensive molecular diagnosis of Bardet-Biedl syndrome by high-throughput targeted exome sequencing.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive disorder with significant genetic heterogeneity. BBS is linked to mutations in 17 genes, which contain more than 200 coding exons. Currently, BBS is diagnosed by direct DNA sequencing for mutations in these genes, which because of the large genom...
