Kleefstra Syndrome with Severe Sensory Neural Deafness and De Novo Novel Mutation

Kleefstra syndrome is a rare inherited neuro-developmental condition characterised by facial dysmorphism, microcephaly, hypotonia, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. It is a rare syndrome; and less than 100 cases with different genetic mutations are reported so far. We report an eight-month baby boy with Kleefstra syndrome type 2 due to a novel de novo pathogenic mutation in the KMT2C (Lysine methyltransferase 2C) gene.
