This study describes a male infant diagnosed with Kaufman-McKusick syndrome, highlighting a newly recognized association with Hirschsprung

Area of Science:

Genetics and rare diseases
Pediatric medicine
Gastroenterology

Background:

Kaufman-McKusick syndrome is a rare genetic disorder.
Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital condition affecting the large intestine.

Observation:

A male infant presented with clinical features consistent with Kaufman-McKusick syndrome.
The infant also exhibited symptoms indicative of Hirschsprung's disease.

Findings:

This case report details a previously undocumented association between Kaufman-McKusick syndrome and Hirschsprung's disease.
The co-occurrence suggests a potential shared genetic or developmental pathway.

Implications:

This finding expands the clinical spectrum of Kaufman-McKusick syndrome.
