Workup
Imaging Studies
- The types of imaging studies performed depend on the clinical manifestations of the patient. For example, a patient with skeletal abnormalities requires further radiologic investigations, such as CT scanning and MRI.
Other Tests
- Chromosomal karyotype analysis - To investigate for the presence of structural abnormalities
- Fluorescence in situ hybridization - To detect microdeletions of the CBP gene on band 16p13
- Mutation analysis of the CBP gene
Procedures
- Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and examination by a pediatric cardiologist15
- Radiologic investigations for patients with skeletal abnormalities
- Renal ultrasonography and consideration of a voiding cystourethrogram
- Hearing evaluation
- Neurologic evaluation for patients with a seizure disorder
