It presents with varied clinical manifestations like retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly, central obesity, mental retardation and renal dysfunction. Other rare manifestations include diabetes mellitus, heart disease, hepatic fibrosis and neurological manifestations. Most of these symptoms may not be present at birth but appear and progressively worsen during the first and second decades of life.
