%X Bardet¨CBiedl syndrome (BBS), characterized by rod-cone dystrophy, postaxial polydactyly, central obesity, hypogonadism, renal abnormalities, and mental retardation, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. To date, 21 causative genes have been reported. Here we describe a Japanese BBS patient with a novel compound heterozygous mutation in TTC8. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of a BBS patient with a mutation in the TTC8 gene in Japan
