Description : Kabuki syndrome is a congenital mental retardation syndrome with additional features,
including postnatal dwarfism, a peculiar facies characterized by long palpebral fissures
with eversion of the lateral third of the lower eyelids (reminiscent of the make-up
of actors of Kabuki, a Japanese traditional theatrical form), a broad and depressed
