Abstract

Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a rare, genetically heterogeneous, autosomal recessive
inherited disorder with wide variability in expression. We report a case of Laurence-Moon-Bardet-
Biedl syndrome with typical phenotype in conjunction with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The
diagnosis had been missed until the patient presented at our hospital.
