Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis and Growth Retardation

Endocrine Practice, 2001
To describe two patients with hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) and growth hormone deficiency and to review the literature on HGF and related endocrine abnormalities.We present case reports of two patients (first cousins)-an 8-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy-with an existing diagnosis of HGF, who were assessed because of presumed growth ...

Genetic Analysis of Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis Using Whole Exome Sequencing and Bioinformatics

Oral Diseases, 2017
ObjectivesOur study aims to identify genetic variants associated with hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) by applying whole-exome sequencing (WES) and bioinformatics analyses such as gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and protein functional network ...

Evidence of Genetic Heterogeneity for Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis

Journal of Dental Research, 2000
Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis (HGF) is the most common genetic form of gingival fibromatosis. The condition is most frequently reported to be transmitted as an autosomal-dominant trait, but autosomal-recessive inheritance has also been reported.

Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis in a Family With the Zimmermann Laband Syndrome

Journal of Oral Pathology and Medicine, 1991
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is frequently an isolated condition of little consequence apart from a cosmetic problem and occasional associations with hypertrichosis and/or epilepsy. There are, however, several uncommon or rare eponymous syndromes described in which gingival fibromatosis can be a feature: these include the Zimmermann‐Laband, Murray ...

Towards the targeted management of hereditary gingival fibromatosis

Medical Hypotheses, 2018
Although hereditary gingival fibromatosis is a rare condition, it leaves unrestroable psychological, esthetical as well as functional problems to the affected patients. The purpose of the current research is to find a non-surgical pharmacological mechanism that could provide a control of the active phase of such disease helping individual to continue ...

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis: report of three cases

Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry, 2001
Three cases of generalized and severe HGF in young patients of the same family without other features are reported. The purpose of this article is to present documented cases and discuss the identification, treatment, and control of the disease. The histopathological characteristics of HGF are emphasized.

[Hereditary gingival fibromatosis].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 1996
Fibromatosis may be defined as diffuse poorly circumscribed overgrowth of the fibrous tissue that infiltrates adjacent normal tissues. They are difficult to eradicate surgically, and recur but not metastasize. Gingival fibromatosis is generally regarded as a disease that leads to an extensively diffuse and remarkable hyperplasia of the maxillo ...

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis--a review.

Compendium of continuing education in dentistry (Jamesburg, N.J. : 1995), 2007
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare gingival lesion that presents as localized or generalized enlargement of the attached gingiva. The gingiva is characterized as pink, firm, and very fibrous, with little tendency to bleed. HGF can present as an isolated feature or as part of a syndrome.
