Mutations in WDPCP have been associated with Bardet‐Biedl syndrome (BBS), characterised by retinitis pigmentosa, obesity, kidney dysfunction polydactyly and hypogonadism (Kim et al., 2010), most commonly caused by pituitary defects (Mujahid et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene WDPCP and retinitis pigmentosa.
