📋Overview
Van Lohuizen Syndrome is a legacy eponym historically used to refer to conditions associated with mutations in the polycomb group gene BMI1 or related genes involved in tumor suppression and cell cycle regulation. The modern preferred term related to this eponym is Hereditary Multiple Exostoses (HME) or conditions involving multiple benign bone tumors (osteochondromas). It is important to note that Van Lohuizen Syndrome is not a widely used or clearly defined term in current mainstream medical literature, and references to it often overlap with genetic tumor predisposition syndromes.
