Kleefstra syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the EHMT1 gene. The condition leads to intellectual disability, developmental delays, and distinct facial features. People with Kleefstra syndrome may also experience heart defects, hypotonia, and behavioural issues. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage its varied symptoms.
