This case study highlights a rare co-occurrence of Duane syndrome and Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome type II in an infant. Genetic testing confirmed an EP300 mutation, suggesting a link between EP300-mediated disease and cranial nerve involvement.
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Ophthalmology
- Pediatrics
Background:
- Duane syndrome is a congenital eye movement disorder characterized by limited abduction and abnormal eye movements.
- Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a genetic disorder associated with intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, and broad thumbs.
- RTS type II is specifically linked to mutations in the EP300 gene.
