An AFCI is a device intended to provide protection from the effects of arc faults by recognizing characteristics unique to arcing and by functioning to de-energize the circuit when an arc fault is detected.
Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome and Laurence-Moon-Biedl-Bardet redirect here. See below for an explanation. The BardetâBiedl syndrome (BBS) is a ciliopathic human genetic disorder that produces many effects and affects many body systems. It is characterized principally by obesity, retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly, hypogonadism, and renal failure in some cases.
The most common defective gene associated with Bardet-Biedl syndrome is the BBS1 gene located on the long arm (q) of chromosome 11 (11q13). The BBS1 gene accounts for approximately 30 percent of cases. Chromosomes, which are present in the nucleus of human cell, carry the genetic information for each individual.nother common finding associated with Bardet-Biedl syndrome is truncal obesity, which refers to a condition in which fat is disproportionately distributed on the abdomen and chest rather than the arms and legs. Weight is usually normal at birth, but weight gain may be seen in the first year of life.
