We report the case of a young woman who presented at age 10 years with height on the tenth centile, brachydactyly type E and mild developmental delay. Biochemistry and hormonal profiles were normal. Differential diagnoses considered included Albright hereditary osteodystrophy without hormone resistance (a.k.a pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism), 2q37 microdeletion syndrome and acrodysostosis. She had a normal karyotype and normal FISH of 2q37. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) identified a mutation in the ANKRD11 gene associated with KBG syndrome. We review the clinical features of the genetic syndromes considered, and suggest KBG syndrome be considered in patients presenting with syndromic brachydactyly type E, especially if short stature and developmental delay are also present.

Identification of a novel frameshift variation in ANKRD11: a case report of KBG syndrome.
Front Genet
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, Shandong First University Affiliated Central Hospital, Jinan, China.
Background: KBG syndrome (KBGS, OMIM: 148050) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by macrodontia, short stature, skeletal abnormalities, and neurological manifestations. The objective of this study is to investigate a case of KBG syndrome caused by a novel frameshift mutation in ANKRD11.
Methods And Results: We present the case of an 18-year-old Chinese male exhibiting characteristic features including a triangular face, micrognathia, hypertelorism, macrodontia, bushy eyebrows, prominent ears, short stature, low hairline, delayed cognitive development, and scoliosis.
Large-scale evaluation of outcomes after a genetic diagnosis in children with severe developmental disorders.
Genet Med Open
October 2024
Department of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences, Medical School, University of Exeter, St Luke's Campus, Exeter, United Kingdom.
Purpose: We sought to evaluate outcomes for clinical management after a genetic diagnosis from the Deciphering Developmental Disorders study.
Methods: Individuals in the Deciphering Developmental Disorders study who had a pathogenic/likely pathogenic genotype in the DECIPHER database were selected for inclusion ( = 5010). Clinical notes from regional clinical genetics services notes were reviewed to assess predefined clinical outcomes relating to interventions, prenatal choices, and information provision.
Child with KBG syndrome.
BMJ Case Rep
December 2024
Pediatric Neurology, Aster CMI Hospital, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Article Synopsis
- A male child presented with developmental delay and distinct facial features including a uniquely shaped skull and specific ear and eyebrow characteristics.
- The mobile app Face2Gene was utilized to analyze the child’s facial photos, indicating a strong possibility of KBG syndrome.
- Confirmation of the diagnosis was achieved through exome sequencing, which identified a specific mutation linked to KBG syndrome.
KBG Syndrome in 16 Indian Individuals.
Am J Med Genet A
February 2025
Suma Genomics Private Limited, Manipal, India.
Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the clinical and genetic features of 16 individuals with KBG syndrome (KBGS) from 13 Indian families, focusing on likely pathogenic variants in the ANKRD11 gene.
- - Key clinical traits observed included a high prevalence of learning/intellectual disabilities (93%), skeletal abnormalities (93%), and distinctive facial features (87%).
- - Genetic analysis revealed 12 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the ANKRD11 gene, with many clustering around exon 9, and the Face2Gene application showed high accuracy in suggesting differential diagnoses for KBGS.
Assessment of Adaptive Functioning and the Impact of Seizures in KBG Syndrome.
Am J Med Genet A
February 2025
Department of Human Genetics, NYS Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities, Staten Island, New York, USA.
This study aimed to examine the adaptive functioning status and the impact of epileptic seizures on neurocognitive outcomes in KBG syndrome, a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by pathogenic variants in ANKRD11. A single clinician interviewed individuals and families with genetically confirmed cases of KBG syndrome. Trained professionals also conducted assessments using the Vineland-3 Adaptive Behavior Scales.
