Molecular-genetic basis of Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome

Abstract

Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome is a multisystem pathology characterized by mental retardation and delayed physical development in combination with a set of phenotypic features, which make up a recognizable pattern of the disease. This review of the literature highlights the molecular‑genetic basis and the presumed pathogenesis of the Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome, considers questions of geno‑phenotypic correlations and differential diagnosis in the group of pathologies called chromatinopathies.
