Abstract

The Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS) is an autosomic dominant disease (MIM 180849), associated with microdeletion 16p13.3 in about 20% of cases (Petrij et al., 2000); it is characterized by facial, skeletal, renal and cerebral abnormalities, cardiac defects, moderate/severe mental retardation, immunodeficiency, feeding difficulties and growth delay (Rubinstein and Taybi, 1963). The differential diagnosis is usually with Floating-Harbor syndrome and Keipert-Danks syndrome.
