Gardner's syndrome
Gardner's syndrome is a condition affecting the digestive tract. It is a syndrome of multiple polyposis that predisposes a patient to colon cancer. Other abnormalities, such as osteomas of the skull, epidermoid cysts, and fibromas, are also associated with this syndrome. Gardner's Syndrome displays autosomal dominant inheritance, as it is caused by a mutation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene on chromosome 5q. As such, it bears resemblance to familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
