Congenital hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) requiring treatment as the presenting feature of Kabuki syndrome.

Key Clinical Message: Kabuki syndrome is a congenital condition characterized by a set of facial dysmorphic features that often help the clinician to suspect the diagnosis. However, more insidious symptoms can rarely occur, such as manifestations of hypoglycemia in newborns with congenital hyperinsulinism hypoglycemia, especially when a variant of the KDM6A gene is found. In those cases, a treatment with diazoxide can be started and can be replaced with lanreotide if a satisfying glycemic control is not achieved. We report the case of a female patient born at 37 weeks of gestational age, without any obvious facial dysmorphic features, after a non‐complicated pregnancy, that presented with feeding difficulties, drowsiness, and irritability revealing a hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Further testing at 6 months old found a KDM6A mutation. The patient was initially treated by diazoxide alone, but its dosage had to be lowered because of the occurrence of treatment side effects, and lanreotide had been added to maintain acceptable blood sugar levels. A congenital hyperinsulinemia hypoglycemia revealed heterozygous truncating variant in the KDM6A gene, also known as X‐linked Kabuki syndrome in a newborn. In cases of neonatal hypoglycemia, the first‐line therapy is diazoxide. Our report shows that analogues of somatostatin such as lanreotide should be considered if the diazoxide regimen is not tolerated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
