Clinical and molecular analysis of Guangxi patients with Kabuki syndrome and KMT2D mutations.

ABSTRACT: Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome that is characterized by postnatal growth deficiency, hypotonia, short stature, mild-to-moderate intellectual disability, skeletal abnormalities, persistence of fetal fingertip pads, and distinct facial appearance. It is mainly caused by pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in the KMT2D or KDM6A genes. Here, we described the clinical features of nine sporadic KS patients with considerable phenotypic heterogeneity. In addition to intellectual disability and short stature, our patients presented with a high prevalence of motor retardation and recurrent otitis media. We recommended that KS should be strongly considered in patients with motor delay, short stature, intellectual disability, language disorder and facial
