Conditions associated with gingival hyperplasiaFeatures

Autosomal recessive
 I-cell disease (Mucolipidosis II)Mental and physical retardation; appears prior to eruption of primary teeth
 Ramon SyndromeGingival fibromatosis, hypertrichosis, cherubism, mental retardation, and seizures
 Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis (Murray-Peretic-Drescher syndrome)Multiple hyaline fibromas, white papules on the skin, flexion contractures, osteolytic bone lesions, and gingival fibromatosis
 Alpha-MannosidosisA type of oligosaccharidosis, delayed early motor development, mild hypotonia, hypoplastic bones, macroglossia, hepatosplenomegaly, and gingival enlargement
 Donohue syndrome (Leprechaunism)Failure to thrive, unusual facies, facial hirsutism, retarded bone age, and insulin resistance with glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinemia
 Cross syndromeHypopigmentation, microphthalmia, mental retardation, athetosis, and gingival fibromatosis
 Hornova-Dluhosova syndromeOral and conjunctival amyloidosis and mental retardation

Autosomal dominant
 Zimmerman-Laband syndromeGingival fibromatosis, ear, bone, nail defects, hepatosplenomegaly
 Rutherford syndromeGingival fibromatosis and corneal dystrophy, failure of tooth eruption
 Jones syndromeGingival fibromatosis with sensorineural hearing loss

Other
 Borronedermato-cardio-skeletal syndrom (Autosomal recessive/X-linked recessive)Coarse facies, thick skin, acne conglobata, gingival enlargement, osteolysis, camptodactyly, and mitral valve prolapsed
