The patient was a girl aged 3 years and 8 months with normal body length and body weight at birth. The girl had feeding difficulty after birth. Her height, body weight, and head circumference were below the 3rd percentile. She had intellectual disability and an unusual facies manifesting as arched shaggy eyebrows, down-slanting palpebral fissures, and broad nasal bridge, but had no a beaked nose, broad thumbs, or big toes. These clinical manifestations were basically consistent with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS). Gene sequencing identified a heterozygous splice site mutation, c.3779T+1G>T, in the CREBBP gene, which did not exist in her parents. Therefore, a definite diagnosis of RSTS was made. The mutation c.3779T+1G>T had not been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database and was identified as a novel pathogenic mutation. Then the girl was given rehabilitation training for delayed language and motor development. The girl has been followed up for 3 months in the outpatient department, but the effect of rehabilitation treatment has not been evaluated.

OBJECTIVE:
To summarize the clinical characteristics and identify gene mutations of 2 probands with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS).
METHODS:
Clinical characteristics of 2 probands with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome were summarized. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples from the patients and their parents. Genomic DNA was subjected to whole exome next generation sequencing. Suspected variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing.
RESULTS:
The two patients were characterized by typical facial features, broad thumbs and big toes, intellectual disability, and postnatal growth retardation. Two variants of the CREBBP gene, namely c.3779+1G>A and c.5052_c.5053insT, were respectively identified in the 2 patients. Among these, c.3779+1G>A was a previously known pathological mutation, while c.5052_c.5053insT was unreported previously. Both variants were predicted to be pathological.
CONCLUSION
Two cases of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome were diagnosed, which facilitated the diagnosis and genetic counselling.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical and genetic features of 2 patients with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome.
METHODUsing next generation sequencing (NGS) the CREBBP and EP300 genes of 2 children who were diagnosed as Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The mutations identified by NGS were verified by PCR were analyzed.
RESULTThe 2 patients at the age of 5 months and 4.5 years manifested short stature (the height were 60 cm and 99 cm respectively), low hairline, thick and dense hair and eyebrows, long lash, epicanthus of both eyes, protruded supercilliary arch, broad and flat thumbs and halluces, and particular facial abnormalities. Patient 2 had language retardation besides. One missense mutation of c.3535A>G, p.Ser1179Gly was found in CREBBP gene in patient 1 and one microdeletion mutation of c.4995_4999delCGCCT, p. Ala1666Pro fs66x was found inpatient 2. Both mutations were reported for the first time.
CONCLUSIONRubinstein-Taybi syndrome is characterized by mental and growth retardation, wide and flat thumbs and first toes, and dysmorphic facial features. CREBBP is one of the causative genes. Mutation detection on CREBBP gene can confirm the diagnosis of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome.

5.A case of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome caused by a variant of EP300 gene.
Chinese Journal of Medical Genetics 2023;40(3):360-363
OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic etiology of a child with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS).
METHODS:
A child who was admitted to the Children's Hospital of Soochow University on October 3, 2021 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child was collected. Peripheral blood samples of the child and his parents were collected. The child was subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES), and candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing of his family members and bioinformatic analysis.
RESULTS:
The patient, a 9-year-and-4-month-old boy, had manifested unique facies, microcephaly, broad toes, growth retardation, and intellectual impairment. WES revealed that he has harbored a heterozygous c.3604G>T (p.E1202*) variant in exon 20 of the EP300 gene. Sanger sequencing confirmed that neither of his parents has carried the same variant. The variant was not found in the Shenzhou Genome data Cloud, ExAC, 1000 Genomes and gnomAD databases.Analysis with SIFT, PolyPhen-2 and CADD online software has predicted the variant to be harmful. Based on the guidelines formulated by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the variant was rated as pathogenic (PVS1+PS2+PM2_Supporting) .
CONCLUSION
The heterozygous c.3604G>T variant of the EP300 gene probably underlay the RSTS type 2 in this child. Above finding has also expanded the variation spectrum of the EP300 gene.
