Molecular-genetic analysis of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome in Russia

https://doi.org/10.25557/2073-7998.2022.09.48-51

Abstract

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) - rare hereditary disorder characterized by intellectual disability and growth retardation in conjunction with specific craniofacial and skeletal features and a wide range of multiple congenital anomalies. To date, mutations in two genes: CREBBP and EP300 can be discovered in about 60% of clinically identified patients with RTS. We herein report the result of molecular analysis in a cohort of Russian RTS patients. Despite the fact that we cannot confirm the diagnosis of RTS in 40% of causes, there are possibility for a better understanding of causative molecular mechanisms and improving the diagnostic process.
