Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome: Presentation in the First Month of Life.

This web-based survey of 311 respondents from 25 countries provides additional information about the early presentation of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. Most (86%) infants present during the neonatal period, with 69% of these within 24 hours of life. Prolonged hospital stay is common (61%).

The natural history of adults with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome: a families-reported experience.

The existing knowledge about morbidity in adults with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is limited and detailed data on their natural history and response to management are needed for optimal care in later life. We formed an international, multidisciplinary working group that developed an accessible questionnaire including key issues about adults with RTS and disseminated this to all known RTS support groups via social media. We report the observations from a cohort of 87 adult individuals of whom 43 had a molecularly confirmed diagnosis.

Growth charts for individuals with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome.

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by variable degrees of intellectual disability, an unusual face, distal limb anomalies including broad thumbs and broad halluces, a large group of variable other major and minor anomalies, and decreased somatic growth. The aim of the present study was to construct up-to-date growth charts specific for infants and children with RSTS. We collected retrospective growth data of 92 RSTS individuals of different ancestries.
