Gardner syndrome in a Tunisian family: Identification of a rare APC mutation through targeted NGS.

Gardner syndrome (GS) is a subtype of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) characterized by colorectal polyps, multiple osteomas, soft tissue tumors, and specific oral manifestations, such as jaw osteomas. GS is caused by mutations in the APC gene, resulting in a nonfunctional protein. This study reports a comprehensive clinical evaluation and genetic analysis of a Tunisian family affected by GS.
