The syndrome is caused by mutations in patched (PTCH), a tumor suppressor gene that has been mapped to chromosome 9q22.3-q31. Gorlin-goltz syndrome (GGS) is characterised by the presence of multiple odontogenic keratocysts in the jaws, basal cell carcinomas, palmar and plantar pits and intracranial calcifications. Here, we present a case of familial GGS, characterised by multiple odontogenic keratocysts, broad nasal ridge, hypertelorism, enlarged head circumference and dermoid cysts.<br /><br />}, number={5}, journal={Journal of Contemporary Medical Sciences}, author={Nafarzadeh, Shima and Mozaffari, Fatemeh and Khakbaz, Oveis}, year={2016}, month={Apr.}, pages={33–35} }
