    Bardet–Biedl syndrome

    the genitilia are hidden - if they are below 2 SD, then it confirms the diagnosis.
    sneaky:

    Prader Willi, Frohlich, Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy and Leptin resistance/deficiency syndromes don't have polydactyly as a defining feature and are thus ruled out.

    Cushingoid has characteristic centraal obesity - also ruled out.

    But hypothroidism needs to be ruled out as it could be compounding to the patient's woes.
