Albright Syndrome

Albright syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is a genetic condition characterized by the development of multiple basal cell skin cancers, jaw cysts, and distinctive facial features. It results from mutations in the PTCH1 gene, which affects cell growth and division. People with this syndrome may experience skin tumors at an early age, jaw cysts that can cause swelling, and other abnormalities like skeletal issues or jaw deformities. Management involves regular monitoring for skin cancers, removing cysts when necessary, and addressing any associated health concerns to improve quality of life.
