A Rare Cause of Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia: Kabuki Syndrome
Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a disease characterized by distinctive facial features, skeletal anomalies and delay in neuromotor development. KS 1 is an autosomal dominant condition caused by mutations in the KMT2D gene, whereas KS 2 is an X-linked disorder caused by mutations in the KDM6A gene. In the ma...

KS 1 is an autosomal dominant condition caused by mutations in the KMT2D gene, whereas KS 2 is an X-linked disorder caused by mutations in the KDM6A gene.

A fasting glucose tolerance test was performed the next day due to her history of hypoglycemia, but she had convulsions at the fifth hour of the test. Her serum glucose was 24 mg/dL, insulin 1.94 mIU/L, C-peptide 0.94 ng/mL, growth hormone 11 ng/mL, anti-insulin antibody 4.2 IU/mL, cortisol 19.8 μg/dL, and adrenocorticotropic hormone 9.3 pg/mL.

Epilepsy and other neurological symptoms may be seen in KS patients and in some of these the neurological symptoms are the result of hypoglycemia. In such cases, the detection and prevention of hypoglycemia can help prevent the progression of neurological symptoms. We suggest considering the diagnosis of KS for patients with hypoglycemia and dysmorphic features, even if the patient does not manifest all features of KS.Mina MısırlıgilYılmaz YıldızOnur AkınSevinç Odabaşı GüneşMutluay ArslanBülent ÜnayGalenos Yayincilikarticlediazoxidehyperinsulinemic hypoglycemiakabuki syndromekmt2kdm6aPediatricsRJ1-570Diseases of the endocrine glands.
