Hypoglycemia and Dandy-Walker variant in a Kabuki syndrome patient: a case report.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare congenital condition with cardinal manifestations of typical facial features, developmental delays, skeletal anomalies, abnormal dermatoglyphic presentations, and mild to moderate intellectual disability. Pathogenic variants in two epigenetic modifier genes, KMT2D and KDM6A, are responsible for KS1 and KS2, respectively.Case presentation
A Chinese girl had persistent neonatal hypoglycemia and Dandy-Walker variant. Whole-exome sequencing identified a novel single nucleotide deletion in KMT2D (NM_003482.3 c.12165del p.(Glu4056Serfs*10)) that caused frameshift and premature termination. The mutation was de novo. According to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines, this variant is considered pathogenic. The patient was diagnosed with KS by molecular testing.Conclusion
A single novel mutation in KMT2D was identified in a KS patients with hypoglycemia and Dandy-Walker variant in the neonatal stage. A molecular test was conducted to diagnose KS at an early stage.
