Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is a heterogeneous disorder with approximately 45–55% of patients showing mutations in the CREB binding protein and a further 3% of patients having mutations in EP300 . We report a male child with a deletion of exons 3–8 of the EP300 gene who has RSTS. He has a milder skeletal phenotype, a finding that has been described in other cases with EP300 mutations. The mother suffered from pre‐eclampsia and HELLP syndrome in the pregnancy. She subsequently developed a mullerian tumor of her cervix 6 years after the birth of her son. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
