Bardet-Biedl (Laurence-Moon-Biedl) syndrome

This is in no way related to The Tales of Beedle the Bard - a collection of very fine stories by J.K.Rowling referred to in the Harry Potter series, and now published in their own right

These stories aren't about people or characters who are

• Mentally retarded
• Obese
• Small genitals
• 6 fingered
• Deaf
• with renal cystic disease
• and retinitis pigmentosa

I guess it is more tricky to work a character like that in.....

(by the way - it's autosomal recessive inheritance)
