Fibromatosis, Gingival, With Progressive Deafness

Clinical Features

Jones et al. (1977) described a family with gingival fibromatosis (see 135300) associated with progressive sensorineural hearing loss in 5 generations. Whereas 9 persons had GF without demonstrated or reported deafness, all 16 persons with a hearing loss had GF. The proband with the full syndrome was 10 years old.

Hartsfield et al. (1985) reported 5 cases of GFD in 3 generations with male-to-male transmission.

Inheritance

The transmission pattern of gingival fibromatosis with progressive deafness in the families reported by Jones et al. (1977) and Hartsfield et al. (1985) was consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance.
