Our main aims and objectives are:

  • to offer guidance, advice and information to those affected by Gorlin Syndrome
  • the advancement of the education of the medical profession into Gorlin Syndrome and its implications for the family
  • to promote research into the causes, effects, treatment and management of Gorlin Syndrome.

We are grateful for the continuing support of our medical advisors.
