Homozygous mutations in MKKS cause Bardet‐Biedl syndrome, which manifests with polydactyly, obesity, retinitis pigmentosa and intellectual disability (Forsythe & Beales, 2003) or Mc‐Kusick Kaufman syndrome, associated with congenital heart disease, genitourinary abnormalities and polydactyly (Slavotinek, 2002). This evidence concerns the gene MKKS and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
