Abstract

Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder whose main clinical signs are multiple organ abnormalities and mental retardation. Niikawa et al. and Kuroki et al simultaneously described this syndrome in a group of patients in 1981 [1,2]. Genetic transmission of KS is autosomal dominant in more than 50% of patients with an estimated incidence of 1 in 32,000 [3].
