Which syndrome is associated with multiple cysts of the jaws?

Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome
Down Syndrome
Marfan Syndrome
Turner Syndrome

The correct answer is: Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome

Explanation Multiple cysts of the jaws are a common feature of Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome, also known as Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome. This disorder is characterized by the development of multiple basal cell carcinomas, skeletal abnormalities, and other symptoms. While Down Syndrome, Marfan Syndrome, and Turner Syndrome all have various genetic factors and physical characteristics, they are not typically associated with the development of multiple cysts in the jaws.
