Kabuki Syndrome Awareness Day is observed worldwide every October 23 to highlight a rare congenital disorder known as Kabuki syndrome. This syndrome, first identified by Japanese physician and geneticist Norio Niikawa in 1969 and officially recognized in 1981, is characterized by distinct facial features, growth delays, and various health issues. The term "Kabuki syndrome" refers to the elaborate makeup of traditional Kabuki theatre performers, as many patients exhibit elongated lower eyelids reminiscent of this art form. Symptoms can vary widely among individuals, and while the syndrome itself does not affect lifespan, associated health conditions may pose risks. The day aims to disseminate information about Kabuki syndrome and provide support to affected individuals and families.
