Children and adults with Rubinstein‐Taybi Syndrome have specific medical conditions that occur with greater frequency than the general population. Based on the available information from the literature and clinical experience, recommendations for specific surveillance and interventions are made to guide those clinicians caring for individuals with Rubinstein‐Taybi Syndrome. This is a first attempt at medical guidelines for individuals with RTS in the United States. On‐going research is needed in many areas to guide decisions in medical care and allow for refinement of these medical guidelines. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
