Defects of B-cell terminal differentiation in patients with type-1 Kabuki syndrome

摘要

Background: Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a complex multisystem developmental disorder associated with mutation of genes encoding histone-modifying proteins. In addition to craniofacial, intellectual, and cardiac defects, KS is also characterized by humoral immune deficiency and autoimmune disease, yet no detailed molecular characterization of the KS-associated immune phenotype has been reported.
