Clinical Registry Investigating Bardet-Biedl Syndrome
Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic disorder associated with a vast array of symptoms. The features of BBS are highly variable, even between siblings, making long-term follow-up and centralization of information vital to better understanding this complex disease and designing effective treatments.

| Summary | Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic disorder associated with a vast array of symptoms. The features of BBS are highly variable, even between siblings, making long-term follow-up and centralization of information vital to better understanding this complex disease and designing effective treatments. Marshfield Clinic has developed the Clinical Registry Investigating Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (CRIBBS) to gather comprehensive health information from patients diagnosed with BBS in a single repository. This information will be used to inform patients, families, and physicians about the complex features of BBS and will serve as a platform for researchers to develop effective and targeted treatment strategies for patients with BBS. CRIBBS is a web-based, confidential database and the privacy |
