Case Report: Area of focus clinical presentation and KMT2D gene mutation at the c.15535C>T site in a case of Kabuki syndrome.

Background: Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder. The full understanding of KS remains elusive due to the heterogeneity of gene mutations, clinical phenotypes, and the associations and mechanisms linking genotypes to phenotypes. This study reports on a 16-year-old male patient diagnosed with type I Kabuki syndrome following the identification of a Case Report: A 16-year-old male presented with bilateral breast enlargement persisting for over 1 month. Historically, the patient exhibited intellectual disability. Both parents are healthy with no similar family history. The patient's father had a history of heroin use for 8 years prior to the patient's birth. On examination, the patient had unclear speech and slow speech rate, with diminished reading comprehension and calculation abilities. Characteristic facial features of KS were noted. Breast development was observed (Tanner stage II on the right and III on the left), with pain upon deep palpation of the left nipple. Molecular genetic testing identified a heterozygous missense mutation, c.15535C>T (p.Arg5179Cys), in the Discussion: KS is characterized by distinctive facial features: arched eyebrows, eversion of the eyelids, long palpebral fissures, a short nasal septum, a flat nasal tip, auricular deformities, a small mandible, a high palatal arch, or cleft palate. The patient exhibited a heterozygous missense mutation in the coding region of the
