Letter to the Editor: A Novel Mutation in the CREBBP Gene of a Korean Girl with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by broad thumbs and halluces, dysmorphic facial features, mental retardation, and short stature. Mutations in the cAMP-response element binding protein-BP (CREBBP) gene (50-60% of cases) and E1A-binding protein (EP300, 3%) are known genetic causes in affected individuals. Here, we describe a genetically confirmed Korean RTS patient with atypical features, including Hirschsprung disease and growth hormone deficiency. Mutational analysis revealed a novel heterozygous frameshift mutation, c.2064_2077del14 (p.Gly689Cysfs*32) in the CREBBP gene.
