Unusual Characteristics and Variable Expressivity in a Brazilian Family with Cherubism

Abstract

Cherubism is a rare genetic condition characterized by a bone nonneoplastic disease. We aimed to report a 6-year-old girl with cherubism presenting similar cases in the maternal family. However, her mother and grandmother seemed to be asymptomatic. The patient had an enlarged and asymmetric jaw with multiple enlarged cervical lymph nodes that increased in size with time. Sanger sequencing revealed a heterozygous mutation in exon 9 of SH3BP2 not only in the patient but also in her mother. Thus, we observed a variable expression and a probably reduced penetrance within the family, as well as unusual characteristics of the patient (in this case, the asymmetrical involvement of the jaw).
