Research Focus

  • Kabuki syndrome type 1 (KS1) caused by mutations in KMT2D gene
  • KMT2D's role in regulating chromatin structure and gene expression
  • Ketones (such as BHB) as histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi)
  • Preclinical studies showing promise in rescuing hippocampal memory deficits in KS mouse models
  • Recent case study evidence of cognitive improvements and transcriptomic normalization following 12 months of ketogenic diet

Researchers

  • Dr. Patricia Cogram, PhD
  • Dr. Jacqueline Harris, MD
