    genetic disorder causing multiple skin cancers and jaw cysts

    Gorlin Syndrome, also known as Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS), is a genetic disorder characterized by the development of multiple basal cell carcinomas (a type of skin cancer), jaw cysts, and skeletal abnormalities. It is caused by mutations in the PTCH1 gene, which plays a role in cell growth and development. This syndrome can also lead to other health issues, such as developmental delays and an increased risk of other types of tumors.
