Abstract
Abstract Alström syndrome (ALMS) is a rare ciliopathy with pleiotropic and wide spectrum of clinical features. It is autosomal recessively inherited and associated with mutations in ALMS1 , a gene involved in cilia functioning. High clinical heterogeneity is the main feature of ALMS. Cone-rod dystrophy with blindness, hearing loss, obesity, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia, endocrine abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, and renal, hepatic, and pulmonary anomalies are the most common signs and symptoms.
