Targeted gene(s)/phenotype under study

Gene: KBG syndrome

Abstract

KBG is a pretty novel disease entity characterized by developmental delay, short stature, dysmorphic facial features, and skeletal anomalies. Literature data about the evolution of the clinical phenotype over time are limited. We have collected several patients with KBG syndrome and followed them over time.  The aim of this study is to collect clinical and molecular data of patients with KBG syndrome in order to better define the main clinical features from childhood into adulthood and to establish a genotype-phenotype correlation.
