Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2, also known as BBS2, is a human gene.[1]

This gene encodes a protein of unknown function. Mutations in this gene have been observed in patients with Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 2. Bardet-Biedl syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe pigmentary retinopathy, obesity, polydactyly, renal malformation and mental retardation.[1]
