A rare, inherited disorder that affects many organs and tissues in the body. People with this disorder have a very high risk of developing basal cell skin cancer during adolescence or early adulthood. They are also at risk of developing medulloblastoma (a type of brain cancer) and other types of cancer.

In this study, a gene panel was developed to overcome the challenges in the diagnosis of Gorlin syndrome and allow diagnosis using a single test. A custom panel was generated for four genes associated with Gorlin syndrome: PTCH1, PTCH2, SMO, and SUFU. Twenty-seven samples from 12 patients with Gorlin syndrome and three asymptomatic blood relatives of the patients were examined. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
