Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome?
DefinitionRubinstein-Taybi syndrome is a genetic disease characterized by broad thumbs and toes, short stature, distinctive facial features, and varying degrees of mental retardation.Alternative NamesRubinstein syndromeCauses, incidence, and risk factorsRubinstein-Taybi syndrome is a rare condition, affecting about 1 in 125,000 people. Most people with RTS have a defect in a gene that leads to an abnormal CREB binding protein (CREBBP).About 10% of patients, typically with more severe problems, are missing the gene entirely and do not make any CREBBP.Most cases are sporadic (not inherited) and likely due to a new mutation occurring during fetal development, which was not passed on by either parent. However, in some cases, it is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, which means that if just one parent passes on the defective gene, the child will be affected.SymptomsBroadening of the thumbs and big toesConstipationExcess hair on body (hirsutism)Heart defects possibly requiring surgery (about 30% of patients)Mental retardationSeizuresShort staturethat is noticeable after birthSlow development of cognitive skillsSlow development of motor skills accompanied by low muscle toneSigns and testsExamination and testing may reveal:Absent or extra kidney, and other problems with kidney or bladderAn underdeveloped bone in the midfaceNarrow palateCrowded teethUnsteady or stiff walking gaitDownward-slanted eyesLow-set ears or malformed earsDrooping eyelid (ptosis)CataractsColoboma (a defect in the iris of the eye)Macrocephaly(excessively large head) or microcephaly (excessively small head)Narrow, small, or recessed mouth with crowded teethProminent or "beaked" noseSkeletal (limb) abnormalities including the last segment of the other fingers and toes, appearing broad on x-rays or physical examinationThick and arched eyebrows with long eyelashesUndescended testicle (cryptorchidism), or other testicular problemsGenetic tests can be done to determine if the CREBBP gene is missing.TreatmentThere is no specific treatment for Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. Symptoms such as mental retardation are treated as necessary with speech and cognitive therapy. Surgical repair of thumbs or great toes can sometimes improve grasp or relieve discomfort. Treatment may not be necessary in all cases.Support GroupsRubinstein-Taybi Parents Group USA -- www.rubinstein-taybi.orgExpectations (prognosis)The majority of children can learn to read at an elementary level.
