Neonatal Kabuki syndrome caused by KMT2D mutation: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Kabuki syndrome (KS) is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome that involves multiple organs and systems. Gene mutation is the main cause of KS. The reported mutations in X-linked histone H3 lysine 4 methylase (KMT2D) and KDM6A genes are 2 relatively clear pathogenic pathways. In this paper, we report a case of KS with neonatal hypoglycemia and special features caused by KMT2D gene mutation confirmed by whole exome sequencing, it enriched the clinical phenotype spectrum and gene mutation spectrum of KS, which helps to improve the understanding of the disease.

Case report

Through whole exome sequencing, we performed gene diagnosis of a newborn child with special facial features and multiple malformations, which revealed heterozygous mutation of NM_003482.3:c.755d
