Article Synopsis
- Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder that increases cancer risk and causes various developmental issues, but typically doesn't affect reproductive capabilities.
- The main symptoms include skin tumors (nevoid basal cell epitheliomas), jaw cysts, skeletal defects, and brain calcifications.
- A case study of a 14-year-old patient with this syndrome highlighted issues like microphthalmia, surgical treatment for undescended testicles, and concerns about hypogonadism and infertility, suggesting a need for genetic evaluation in similar cases.
