Lethal neonatal respiratory failure due to biallelic variants in BBS1 and monoallelic variant in TTC21B.

This report expands the phenotypic spectrum of BBS with the first infant with lethal neonatal respiratory failure associated with biallelic, pathogenic variants in BBS1 and a monoallelic, predicted pathogenic variant in TTC21B. BBS should be considered among the ciliopathies in the differential diagnosis of neonates with renal dysplasia and severe respiratory failure.
