Worth syndrome
HYPEROSTOSIS THAT HAS MATERIAL BASIS IN A MUTATION IN THE LRP5 GENE WHICH RESULTS IN INCREASED BONE DENSITY AND BONY STRUCTURES LOCATED IN PALATE
Hyperostosis Corticalis Generalisata; Benign form of Worth hyperostosis corticalis generalisata with torus platinus; Autosomal dominant osteosclerosis; Autosomal dominant endosteal hyperostosis; Worth disease; Hyperostosis corticalis generalisata
Worth syndrome, also known as benign form of Worth hyperostosis corticalis generalisata with torus platinus, autosomal dominant osteosclerosis, autosomal dominant endosteal hyperostosis or Worth disease, is a rare autosomal dominant congenital disorder that is caused by a mutation in the LRP5 gene. It is characterized by increased bone density and benign bony structures on the palate.
