Three cases with Bardet-Biedl syndrome were presented. Retinal distrophy, obesity, polydactyly, mental retardation and hypogonadism were takan as a diagnostic criteria. Severe retinal distrophy, polydactily brachidactyly and obesity were found in three cases. lmmature penis and testis were determined in two mala patients and irregular menses were found in female patient.
