Wiedemann-Steiner Syndrome (WDSTS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hairy elbows, dysmorphic facial appearances (hypertelorism, thick eyebrows, downslanted and vertically narrow palpebral fissures), pre- and post-natal growth deficiency, and psychomotor delay. Sharing clinical features with Cornelia de Lange syndrome [DS:H00631], WDSTS is another heterogeneous disease. WDSTS is caused by heterozygous mutations in KMT2A, also known as MLL. KMT2A encodes a histone methyltransferase that plays an important role in early development and hematopoiesis.
