HGF can present as an isolated feature or as part of a syndrome. Recent findings report a defect in the Son of sevenless-1 gene on chromosome 2p21-p22 (HGF1) as a possible cause of this clinical presentation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It presents as a localized or generalized, smooth or nodular overgrowth of the gingival tissues of varying severity. It can be isolated, with autosomal dominant inheritance, or as part of a syndrome.[orpha.net]
There also may or may not be any signs of medical and/or familyhistory of mentalretardation, hypertrichosis, nor clinical symptoms that can be associated with gingival enlargement.[en.wikipedia.org]
A case of a 9-year-old child with hereditary gingival fibromatosis, supernumerary tooth, chestdeformities, auricular cartilage deformation, joint laxity and undescended testes is described.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
All complained similarly of weight loss, difficulty with articulation, and socialisolation. Physical examination revealed massive overgrowth of both maxillary and mandibular gingiva, as well as multiple ectopic teeth.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

disorders Other dental and oral problems In some cases, Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis may cause bleeding from the gums, or gum ulcerations.[en.wikipedia.org]
disorders [1] Other dental and oral problems [4] Mechanism Genetic linkage studies are among the most popular methods of study to look at the mechanism of this HGF.[ipfs.io]
In addition to HGF, both patients had short stature, subnormal growth velocity, and delayedboneage but no abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Serum prolactin levels and results of thyroid function tests were normal.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Underlying connective tissue showed dense fibro-collagenous tissue and mild lymphocyticinfiltration. Hence, the case was diagnosed as gingival hyperplasia [Figure 4].[jicdro.org]
(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis is very good with suitable treatment A complete excision usually results in low tumor recurrence However, the prognosis of this condition also depends on the severity of any underlying[dovemed.com]

If the patient's disease is treated by means of surgery, it is recommended that the patient undergoes post-surgical therapies for maintenance and periodic monitoring of gums for the sake of the possibility of re-occurrence of HGF. [8] Treatment and prognosis[ipfs.io]

Pathogenesis and Pathophysiology The pathologic manifestation of GF is excessive accumulation of ECM proteins, including collagen type I [ 110 – 114 ].[ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Another class of medication associated with gingival enlargement is immunosuppressive agents given to organ-transplant patients to prevent rejection of the new element such as cyclosporine.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Since this condition is generally agreed upon to be hereditary, nothing can be done to prevent HGF.[en.wikipedia.org]
