Diagnosis

Diagnosis of Lubani Al Saleh Teebi syndrome is typically based on the presence of characteristic clinical features. Genetic testing may also be used to confirm the diagnosis and identify the specific gene mutation.

Treatment

There is currently no cure for Lubani Al Saleh Teebi syndrome. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive, and may include physical therapy, special education, and medication for seizures.

Prognosis

The prognosis for individuals with Lubani Al Saleh Teebi syndrome varies depending on the severity of symptoms. Some individuals may have a normal lifespan, while others may have life-threatening complications.
