  1. The publication references linked to the genes can be found with the OMIM number. The official genes names and their synonyms (HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee) are given together with other annotations. Status of the gene regarding the syndrome has been assessed into several categories including gene undoubtedly associated with BBS (“Core”), gene with good evidence but requires confirmation (“Need replication”) and gene with some evidence but of low impact (“Questioned”).
