Frequently Asked Questions

Gorlin–Goltz syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is a rare inherited condition that affects multiple parts of the body. It happens because of a change in a gene called PTCH1, which normally helps control cell growth. When PTCH1 doesn’t work right, cells can grow too much, leading to distinctive skin tumors (basal cell carcinomas), jaw cysts (odontogenic keratocysts), skeletal abnormalities, and other findings. People with Gorlin–Goltz syndrome often start showing signs in childhood or early adulthood. Early diagnosis and a team-based approach help manage symptoms, reduce complications, and improve quality of life.

Gorlin–Goltz syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), is a rare inherited disorder that affects many parts of the body. It happens because one of the genes that normally tells cells when to stop growing is changed or broken. When this control system fails, people develop many different problems, such as skin cancers, jaw cysts, and bone changes, often beginning in childhood or early adulthood. The syndrome follows an autosomal dominant pattern, which means a child has a 50% chance of inheriting it if one parent carries the gene change. NCBINCBI

Types

Gorlin–Goltz syndrome can vary depending on which gene is affected. In very simple terms, there are three main genetic “types”:

Type 1 (PTCH1 Mutation):
This is the classic form. It arises from a change (mutation) in the PTCH1 gene, which is the most common cause. People with this type often have many small skin pits, jaw cysts, and basal cell skin cancers. Cleveland ClinicSydney Cancer Genetics
Type 2 (SUFU Mutation):
A less common form caused by a mutation in the SUFU gene. Individuals with SUFU mutations tend to have a higher risk of developing tumors in the brain, such as medulloblastoma, especially in childhood. Cleveland Clinic
Type 3 (PTCH2 Mutation):
The rarest form, due to changes in the PTCH2 gene. Its features are similar to Type 1 but often milder, with fewer skin cancers and cysts. Cleveland Clinic

Causes

At its simplest, Gorlin–Goltz syndrome is caused by changes in genes that control a pathway called “hedgehog signaling.” This pathway tells cells when to grow and divide. When one of these genes is broken, cells grow too much and form various tumors and cysts. Cleveland ClinicChildren’s Hospital of Philadelphia

PTCH1 gene mutation: The most common genetic change that disrupts cell growth control.
SUFU gene mutation: Alters another key controller of cell division.
PTCH2 gene mutation: A rare variant affecting the same pathway.
Autosomal dominant inheritance: One copy of the faulty gene is enough to cause the syndrome.
Spontaneous (de novo) mutation: The change can occur for the first time in a child, even if parents are unaffected.
Mosaicism: Some cells carry the mutation while others do not, leading to milder or patchy signs.
Abnormal hedgehog pathway activation: Even without a direct gene change, other factors can push the pathway into overdrive.
Epigenetic alterations: Chemical tags on DNA can change gene activity without altering the code itself.
Environmental modifiers: Exposure to sunlight or radiation can worsen skin lesions in affected people.
Parental age effect: Older parental age at conception slightly increases the chance of spontaneous mutations.
Radiation therapy exposure: Past radiation treatment can trigger more skin cancers in susceptible individuals.
Chemical exposures (e.g., arsenic): Certain toxins may speed up skin cancer development.
Viral infections: Though rare, some studies suggest viruses might interact with the faulty pathway to increase risk.
Hormonal influences: Hormone changes in puberty or pregnancy can make skin tumors grow faster.
Immune suppression: Weakened immune systems may allow more tumors to form.
Chronic inflammation: Long-term irritation of skin or bone can promote lesion growth.
Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of certain vitamins may impair normal cell repair.
Oxidative stress: Too many free radicals can damage DNA further.
Genetic modifiers: Changes in other genes can make the syndrome milder or more severe.
Unknown factors: Research continues to find new contributors to how and when the syndrome appears. PubMed Central

Symptoms

People with Gorlin–Goltz syndrome can show many different signs. Not everyone has all of them, but these are the most common:

Multiple basal cell carcinomas: Small skin cancers that often appear on the face, chest, or back.
Odontogenic keratocysts (jaw cysts): Fluid-filled sacs in the jaw that can cause swelling and pain.
Palmar pits: Tiny holes in the skin on the palms that may look like shallow dimples.
Plantar pits: Similar dimples found on the soles of the feet.
Macrocephaly: A larger-than-normal head size, often with a prominent forehead (frontal bossing).
Frontal bossing: A pronounced, rounded forehead shape.
Hypertelorism: Eyes set farther apart than average.
Calcification of the falx cerebri: Hardening of tissue in the brain’s midline, seen on CT scans.
Rib anomalies: Extra, missing, or split ribs that can cause chest discomfort.
Spinal abnormalities: Curved spine (scoliosis) or other vertebral changes.
Cleidocranial dysplasia features: Weak or absent collarbones allowing shoulders to nearly touch in front.
Ovarian fibromas: Benign tumors of the ovaries, sometimes causing menstrual issues.
Medulloblastoma (in children): A type of brain tumor that can develop in early childhood, especially with SUFU mutations.
Eye abnormalities: Cysts or small growths in or around the eye socket.
Hearing loss: Due to bone changes in the middle ear or pressure from cysts. National Organization for Rare DisordersGorlin Syndrome Alliance

Diagnostic Tests

Diagnosing Gorlin–Goltz syndrome involves looking for characteristic signs, checking family history, and confirming with tests. Doctors use a combination of physical checks, manual evaluations, lab studies, and imaging.

Physical Exam

Full skin inspection: Look for many basal cell cancers and skin pits.
Head measurement: Check head size against standard charts to detect macrocephaly.
Facial feature exam: Assess for frontal bossing and wide-set eyes.
Palmar/plantar pit count: Count small pits on hands and feet under good light.
Chest and shoulder exam: Look for rib anomalies and collarbone shape. Gorlin Syndrome AllianceGorlin Syndrome Alliance

Manual Tests

Jaw palpation: Feel the jaw for lumps or signs of cysts.
Dental exam: Dentist examines teeth and jaw X-rays for keratocysts.
Spine palpation: Check for uneven spine or scoliosis.
Eye movement test: Simple tests to see if eye muscles move normally under pressure. gorlingroup.org

Lab and Pathological Tests

Skin lesion biopsy: Remove a small skin cancer sample to look under the microscope.
Jaw cyst histology: Analyze tissue from jaw cysts to confirm keratocyst type.
Ovarian fibroma biopsy: If an ovarian mass is found, test a tissue sample.
Genetic testing (molecular): A blood test checks the PTCH1, SUFU, and PTCH2 genes for mutations. NCBIChildren’s Hospital of Philadelphia

Electrodiagnostic Tests

Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP): Measures nerve signals from ear to brain to check hearing pathways.
Nerve conduction study: Tests whether nerves under the skin conduct signals correctly, useful if there is numbness from cyst pressure.
Electrooculography (EOG): Records electrical signals from eye muscles to detect subtle eye movement problems. Radiopaedia

Imaging Tests

Skull X-ray or CT scan: Looks for calcification of the falx cerebri and other skull changes.
Panoramic dental radiograph (OPG): A broad X-ray of the jaws to spot jaw cysts.
Chest X-ray: Checks for rib anomalies and other bone changes.
MRI of the brain: Especially in children, to look for medulloblastoma or other brain tumors. gorlingroup.orgRadiopaedia

Non-Pharmacological Treatments

Sun Protection
Using shade, wide-brimmed hats, and avoiding peak UV hours (10 AM–4 PM) reduces skin damage. UV light triggers new basal cell cancers, so blocking sunlight is the first step in prevention.

Protective Clothing
Long sleeves, tightly woven fabrics, and UV-protective garments act as a physical barrier. This simple measure stops harmful rays from reaching the skin and lowers cancer risk.

Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen
Daily application of SPF 30 or higher blocks UVA and UVB rays. A mineral sunscreen containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide provides reliable, long-lasting protection when reapplied every two hours.

Avoidance of Tanning Beds
Artificial UV sources greatly increase skin cancer risk. Steering clear of tanning salons eliminates one of the most potent triggers for basal cell carcinoma formation.

Genetic Counseling
Meeting with a genetics professional helps families understand inheritance patterns, recurrence risks, and options for prenatal or early testing in future pregnancies.

Regular Dermatologic Screening
Biannual visits to a dermatologist ensure that any new or changing skin lesions are identified quickly. Early removal of small cancers prevents bigger tumors and extensive treatment.

Skin Self-Examinations
Monthly self-checks let patients spot new bumps or spots. Encouraging patients to inspect all skin surfaces empowers them to catch potential cancers early.

Photodynamic Therapy Sessions
Applying a light-sensitive cream (aminolevulinic acid) to precancerous areas and exposing them to blue light destroys abnormal cells without leaving large scars.

Cryotherapy
Freezing small lesions with liquid nitrogen causes the abnormal tissue to blister and fall off over days, offering a quick office procedure to treat tiny tumors.

Laser Therapy
Pulsed-dye or CO₂ lasers vaporize superficial tumors with precise control. Laser treatment minimizes bleeding and speeds healing compared to traditional surgery in select cases.

Dermabrasion
Gently sanding off the top layers of skin removes superficial cancers. After healing, the area usually has a smoother appearance and fewer scars.

Oral Hygiene Regimen
Twice-daily brushing with a soft brush and daily flossing lower jaw cyst complications. Healthy gums and teeth reduce inflammation that can worsen cyst formation.

Routine Dental Check-Ups
Yearly panoramic X-rays detect jaw cysts early. Dentists can plan timely removal of odontogenic keratocysts before they damage bone or cause pain.

Physical Therapy
For skeletal abnormalities like rib or spine malformations, a tailored exercise program improves posture, flexibility, and muscle strength around affected bones.

Occupational Therapy
Therapists teach adaptive strategies for any hand or foot deformities, helping patients maintain independence in daily tasks without discomfort.

Psychological Counseling
Living with a lifelong condition and frequent treatments can be stressful. Counseling helps patients and families cope with anxiety, depression, or body-image concerns.

Nutritional Counseling
A dietitian guides balanced eating to support skin health and overall well-being. Good nutrition aids wound healing after surgeries and treatments.

Pain Management Techniques (TENS)
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation pads deliver mild electrical pulses to relieve chronic jaw or skeletal pain without extra medications.

Patient Education Workshops
Learning about sun safety, lesion checks, and treatment options in group classes empowers patients to take active roles in their care.

Support Groups
Connecting with others who have Gorlin–Goltz syndrome reduces isolation. Sharing experiences and tips often brings emotional relief and practical advice.
