Dissociation of Cross-Sectional Trajectories for Verbal and Visuo-Spatial Working Memory Development in Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome

Dissociation of Cross-Sectional Trajectories for Verbal and Visuo-Spatial Working Memory Development in Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome.

Working memory (WM) impairments might amplify behavioural difference in genetic syndromes. Murine models of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) evidence memory impairments but there is limited research on memory in RTS. Individuals with RTS and typically developing children completed WM tasks, with participants with RTS completing an IQ assessment and parents/carers completing the Vineland Adaptive...

The Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome.

The Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome was first described in 1963. The main clinical features are mental retardation, broad thumbs and great toes, a characteristic facies, and a high-arched palate. Rubinstein and Taybi (1963) described 7 cases in the United States. Since then, small groups of patients and single examples of this syndrome have been reported in the United States (Coffin, 1964; Taybi and ...

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome.

This is a rare cause of mental handicap. Case finding studies in several English speaking countries have found about one case per 300 institutionalised subjects.3 Assuming that at that time about 1 per 1000 of the general population required institutionalisation the population frequency would be about 1 in 300 000. Sex ratio, j3arental ages, pregnancy history, and birth weights have been unrema...
