General Discussion
KBG syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature, moderate to severe degrees of mental retardation, developmental abnormalities of the limbs, bones of the spine (vertebrae), extremities, and/or underdevelopment of the bones of the skeleton. Abnormalities of the head and face (craniofacial dysmorphism) and malformations of the teeth and jaws (dento- skeletal dysplasia) may also be present. The exact cause of KBG syndrome is unknown, but most cases are believed to be autosomal dominant traits with variable degree of penetrance.
