Spectrum of CREBBP gene dosage anomalies in Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome patients.

The Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a rare autosomal-dominant disease associated with 10-15% of cases with 16p13.3 microdeletions involving the CREB-binding protein gene (CREBBP). We used array-comparative genomic hybridization and Quantitative multiplex fluorescent-PCR (QMF-PCR) to search for dosage anomalies in the 16p13.
