There is no specific treatment for Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. Symptoms such as mental retardation are treated as necessary. Treatment may not be necessary in all cases.
Complications vary depending on the symptoms that are present.
There may be signs of this condition at birth. Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you child does not seem to be developing normally. Extra digits may be present as an isolated finding, or they may occur as part of a syndrome, in which case other abnormalities are usually present. The most common form of polydactyly is an extra little finger.
