Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by polydactyly, obesity, rod-cone dystrophy, and mental retardation. Twenty-one genes have been identified as causing BBS. This study collected a BBS pedigree from two patients and performed whole-exome sequencing on one patient. We identified a novel homozygous variant c.1114C>T (p.Q372X) in the BBS9 of the two siblings. This variant was confirmed and completely cosegregated with the disease of this family by Sanger sequencing. We report a novel homozygous variant c.1114C>T in the BBS9 gene in a Chinese family.
