We report a rare combination of anomalies in an Egyptian girl with Kabuki syndrome (KS). The 26-month-old girl had imperforate anus with rectovestibular fistula, diaphragmatic defect, congenital heart defects, cleft palate, lower lip pits, hypopigmentation, seizures, hypogammaglobulinemia A, hyperlaxity of joints and premature breast development. This unique combination of anomalies, proposes to carefully investigate cases with KS patient in an attempt to determine their real frequency and in order to improve clinical management. Further, it raises a question about factors determining the variability in phenotypic expression among cases with KS. To our knowledge, this is the first case of KS to be reported from Egypt.
我们报告了一名患有歌舞伎综合征(KS)的埃及女孩罕见的异常组合情况。这名26个月大的女孩患有肛门闭锁伴直肠前庭瘘、膈肌缺损、先天性心脏缺陷、腭裂、下唇凹陷、色素减退、癫痫、低丙种球蛋白血症A、关节过度松弛和乳房过早发育。这种独特的异常组合情况表明,对于KS患者的病例应进行仔细研究,以确定其实际发生率,并改善临床管理。此外,这也引发了一个关于决定KS病例表型表达变异性的因素的问题。据我们所知,这是埃及报道的首例KS病例。
