    The patient exhibited a de novo heterozygous KMT2B mutation and a hemizygous STS deletion, leading to both precocious puberty and X-linked ichthyosis.

  • 3

    GnRH analogue therapy with leuprorelin acetate was successfully used to manage central precocious puberty in this patient.

  • 4

    Comprehensive endocrine assessment is essential for children with KMT2B-related disorders to ensure early diagnosis and timely intervention.
