Georges, Louis, Bardet (1885–1966) was a French physician who is known for first describing a rare genetic disease.
In his graduation thesis at the University of Paris in 1920,[1] Bardet wrote about a medical condition characterized by obesity, retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly and hypogonadism.
Two years later, Hungarian physician Arthur Biedl described the same symptoms in two sisters, separate from Bardet's findings.
[3] Georges Bardet was the uncle of Jean Bardet, the founder of Éditions du Seuil.
