Abstract
BACKGROUND: Kabuki syndrome is a rare multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by distinct facial features, intellectual disability, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal abnormalities, persistence of fetal fingertip pads, and postnatal growth deficiency. Currently, the diagnosis mainly depends on clinical manifestations and genetic testing. To date, there is no report on the identification Kabuki syndrome in fetuses using chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). CASE PRESENTATION: A fetus was identified with growth retardation and cardiovascular abnormality on color Doppler ultrasonography; however, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) revealed a low risk and G-banding karyotyping revealed no abnormal karyotype detected. CMA identified a 1.3 Mb deletion on the X chromosome (Xp11.3) containing KDM6A, DUSP21, MIR222, MIR221 and CXorf36 genes. The fetus was diagnosed with Kabuki syndrome 2, and labor was induced. In addition, CMA detected a 1.3 Mb deletion in the chromosome Xp11.3 in the mother, which contains 5 genes namely KDM6A, DUSP21, MIR222, MIR221 and CXorf36, while no chromosomal abnormality was identified in the father. CONCLUSIONS: We report a fetus with Kabuki syndrome 2 detected using CMA. It is strongly recommended that CMA be included in prenatal diagnosis in fetuses with growth retardation, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal abnormalities revealed by routine Color Doppler ultrasonography.
