Mutations of the Human Homolog of Drosophila patched in the Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome
The nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), pits of the palms and soles, jaw keratocysts, a variety of other tumors, and developmental abnormalities. NBCCS maps to chromosome 9q22.3. Familial and sporadic BCCs display loss of heterozygosity in this region, consistent with the gene being a tumor suppre...

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (Gorlin syndrome) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by numerous basal cell carcinomas, keratocystic odontogenic tumors of the jaws, and diverse developmental defects. This disorder is associated with mutations in tumor suppressor gene Patched 1 (PTCH1). We present two patients with Gorlin syndrome, one sporadic and one familial. Clinical ex...

BACKGROUND Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS, Gorlin-Goltz syndrome) presents various symptoms and can disfigure patients. The estimated prevalence is around 1:100,000. OBJECTIVE To systematically investigate the clinical manifestations of NBCCS patients of the Zurich register and compare them with those described in 4 epidemiological studies performed in other countries. METHODS ...

The nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), or Gorlin syndrome, is a multisystem autosomal dominant disorder. The salient features of this syndrome include multiple basal cell carcinomas, palmar and/or plantar pits, odontogenic keratocysts, skeletal and developmental anomalies, and ectopic calcification. Other features include such tumors as ovarian fibromas and medulloblastomas. There is...
متن کامل[Gorlin syndrome (nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome)].
CLINICAL CASE A 77 year-old male patient with Parkinson's disease and senile dementia had many facial basal cell carcinomas and an ectropion of the left eye. When he experienced respiratory difficulty he was diagnosed to have an ameloblastoma in left nostril requiring surgery. DISCUSSION Gorlin syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by basal cell carcinomas, and skeletal an...
