The RECQL4 test is recommended for RTS cases that share clinical signs with syndromes usually considered in the differential diagnosis either because of dermatological abnormalitiesor because they belong to thegroup of DNA repair disorders with chromosomal instability. Diagnosis Treatment(Medical Care) Persons with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome should apply sunscreens with UVA and UVB coverage regularly. Additionally, keratolyticsand retinoids have been somewhat successful in treating the hyperkeratotic lesions. References: Hsu S., & Elston D., (2014). Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome.
