We present a case of a 9-month-old Hispanic female with Kabuki syndrome with some infrequent manifestations including a single umbilical artery, butterfly vertebrae, a small larynx, a preauricular pit, microtia with internal ear abnormalities, abnormal calcium metabolism, premature thelarche, neonatal/persistent hypoglycemia and eventration of the diaphragm. She was found to have a previously unreported nonsense MLL2 mutation. This is the first case that includes all such findings occurring simultaneously that was genotyped.

Abnormal Proliferation

Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the daughter...

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
