Au–Kline syndrome (AKS) is a multiple congenital malformation syndrome associated with intellectual disability. It is primarily caused by loss-of-function variants in the gene ''HNRNPK'', which encodes the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hn RNP K). It can be categorized as a very rare autosomal dominant genetic condition characterised by:

Introduction[edit | edit source]

Au–Kline syndrome (AKS) is a multiple congenital malformation syndrome associated with intellectual disability. It is primarily caused by loss-of-function variants in the gene HNRNPK, which encodes the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hn RNP K). It can be categorized as a very rare autosomal dominant genetic condition characterised by:

  1. Congenital hydronephrosis,
  2. Low muscle tone,
  3. Heart defects,
  4. Intellectual disability,and
  5. Characteristic facial features: prominent, downturned ears, an open, downturned mouth and drooping eyelids (ptosis)
  6. Neurological and skeletal abnormalities,
  7. Urinary tract infections.
  8. Language and walking .
