Background: Kabuki syndrome is characterized by distinctive facial features and varying degrees of growth retardation. It leads to malformations in skeletal, urogenital and cardiac structures; moreover, endocrine conditions such as premature thelarche, precocious puberty, growth hormone deficiency, diabetes insipidus, thyroid dysfunction and obesity have been reported. Kabuki syndrome is caused by a heterozygous mutation in the KMT2D or KDM6A genes. Case presentation: An 11-year-old girl with the typical facial features of Kabuki syndrome visited our hospital due to her short stature. She was found to have the de novo heterozygous mutation of c.8200C > T, p(Arg2734*) in exon 32 of the KMT2D gene and was diagnosed with Kabuki syndrome. The patient also exhibited endocrine abnormalities such as a constitutional delay of puberty, transiently congenial hypothyroidism, obesity and growth hormone deficiency. Conclusions: This is a case of a mutation in the KMT2D gene in a girl with Kabuki syndrome who presented with endocrine symptoms (constitutional delay of puberty, hypothyroidism, obesity and growth hormone deficiency).
