Clinical Scorecard: Central Precocious Puberty as the First Sign of Multisystem Involvement Due to a Novel Heterozygous KMT2B Mutation and Hemizygous Deletion of STS: A Case Study

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionCentral Precocious Puberty (CPP) associated with KMT2B-related disorders and X-linked ichthyosis (XLI)
Key MechanismsPathogenic variants in KMT2B and STS genes affecting endocrine regulation and skin barrier function
Target PopulationPediatric patients with KMT2B-related disorders and concurrent XLI
Care SettingEndocrinology and Genetic Metabolism

Key Highlights

  • First report of CPP as primary manifestation in KMT2B-related disorder without dystonia
  • Patient exhibited distinctive craniofacial dysmorphism and ichthyotic scaling
  • Confirmed diagnosis through whole-exome sequencing and CNV analysis
  • Treated with leuprorelin acetate for CPP and topical emollients for XLI
  • Close monitoring showed stable physical signs of puberty and improved skin lesions

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Comprehensive endocrine assessment for children with KMT2B-related disorders

Management

  • GnRH analogue therapy for CPP in KMT2B-related disorders

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Regular follow-up to assess physical signs of puberty and treatment efficacy

Risks

  • Potential for premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis

Patient & Prescribing Data

Pediatric male with KMT2B-related disorder and XLI

Leuprorelin acetate dosage adjusted based on treatment response

Clinical Best Practices

  • Early diagnosis and timely intervention for endocrine abnormalities
  • Utilization of genetic testing for accurate diagnosis of KMT2B and STS alterations
