Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a rare genetic condition that affects approximately 1 in 125,000 to 300,000 births, characterized by a combination of short stature, moderate to severe learning difficulties, and distinctive physical features including broad thumbs and first toes. The foundation dedicated to RTS, Stichting Rubinstein-Taybi Syndroom, serves as a vital resource for individuals and families affected by the syndrome.

This organization offers a wealth of information including educational materials about the syndrome, personal stories from those impacted, and expert answers to specific questions relating to RTS. Their website encourages community engagement through events, self-study modules, and a network of expertise aimed at supporting families navigating this condition. Additionally, they advocate for awareness and understanding of RTS while providing platforms for personal expression and connection among those in the community. The goal is to improve the quality of life for individuals with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome and their families through shared knowledge and resources.
