The recurrent translocation t(11;16)(q23;p13) has been reported to be associated with therapy-related acute leukemia. The MLL gene involved in other 11q23 abnormalities was also rearranged by this translocation. We analyzed two patients with myelodysplastic syndrome with t(11;16) and showed that the MLL gene on 11q23 was fused with CREB-binding protein (CBP) gene on 16p13 in these patients. The...

Figura 1 Angio-TC torácica con reconstrucción VR-3D, visión posterosuperior. En esta imagen podemos observar un arco aórtico completo, con origen independiente de los troncos supraaórticos: en el arco izquierdo, ligeramente de mayor calibre, se originan la arteria carótida y subclavia izquierdas y en el arco derecho, la arteria carótida, vertebral y subclavia derechas. AAo: ascending aorta (aor...

To the Editor : Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a rare autosomal dominant disease (OMIM 180849), characterized by craniofacial dysmorphisms, broad thumbs and toes, mental and growth deficiency (1). RTSs has been associated with creb binding protein (CBP ) mutations and less frequently with EP300 mutations (2). CBP and p300 have high homology and are critical for many signaling pathways, espe...

BACKGROUND Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant genetic disease, with an estimated prevalence of one case per 125,000 live births. RSTS is characterized by typical facial features, microcephaly, broad thumbs and first toes, intellectual disability, and postnatal growth retardation. However, no standard diagnostic criteria are available for RSTS. In this revie...

We report on a patient with a recognizable phenotype of intellectual disability, multiple congenital anomalies, musculoskeletal anomalies and craniofacial dysmorphisms, carrying a de novo 0.4 Mb duplication of chromosome region 16p13.3 detected by SNP-array analysis. In addition, myopia, microcephaly and growth retardation were observed. The causal 16p13.3 duplication is one of the smallest rep...

Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS) is a rare multiple congenital syndrome characterized by distinctive facial features, mental and growth retardation, broad thumbs and great toes. This case report describes the oro-dental manifestations, as well as, orthodontic evaluation of a 9-year-old male patient who had RTS. The remarkable oro-dental features were talon-like cingulum on maxillary central inci...

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a human genetic disorder characterized by mental retardation and physical abnormalities including broad thumbs, big and broad toes, short stature, and craniofacial anomalies. The oral manifestations include small oral opening, pouting lower lip, retro/micrognathia. and higher arched, narrow palate. The purpose of this case report was to demonstrate the complic...
