Gorlin Syndrome Market Size, Epidemiology, In-Market Drugs Sales, Pipeline Therapies, and Regional Outlook 2025-2035

 Market Overview:

The gorlin syndrome market reached a value of USD 5.8 Billion across the top 7 markets (US, EU4, UK, and Japan) in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the top 7 major markets to reach USD 13.2 Billion by 2035, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.74% during 2025-2035.

The Gorlin syndrome market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Gorlin Syndrome Market Size, Epidemiology, In-Market Drugs Sales, Pipeline Therapies, and Regional Outlook 2025-2035". Gorlin syndrome, also referred to as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the presence of skeletal, ophthalmologic, and neurologic abnormalities. The disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner that primarily affects the skin, bones, and other systems of the body. Individuals suffering from this illness might have numerous basal cell nevi, which are benign skin growths resembling small, flesh-colored, or brownish bumps. Some of the common symptoms of the ailment include malformations of the skull and facial bones, deformities of the spine, missing or extra teeth, jaw cysts, pigmented lesions on the retina, mild intellectual disability or developmental delays, etc. Diagnosing Gorlin syndrome typically requires a combination of the patient's clinical evaluation, medical history, and physical examination. The healthcare provider may also perform blood workups to identify the specific gene mutations associated with the illness. Numerous diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasounds and magnetic resonance imaging, are recommended to check for the indications of this ailment and rule out other possible causes.

The increasing cases of genetic mutations, which disrupt the normal functioning of the signaling pathway involved in embryonic development and tissue maintenance, are primarily driving the Gorlin syndrome market. Besides this, the widespread adoption of hedgehog pathway inhibitors, including vismodegib and sonidegib, to help in slowing down the spread of unhealthy cells, thereby preventing disease progression, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the escalating usage of photodynamic therapy, which involves the application of topical photosensitizing agents to the skin followed by exposure to light of a specific wavelength to produce reactive oxygen species that disrupt targeted abnormal tissues, is also bolstering the market growth. Additionally, the emerging popularity of topical medications, such as imiquimod and 5-fluorouracil cream, for treating superficial lesions that are small in size and located in low-risk areas is creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the inflating demand for Mohs micrographic surgery, owing to its various advantages, like maximal tissue conservation, high cure rates, better treatment outcomes for patients, etc., is expected to drive the Gorlin syndrome market in the coming years.

This report is a must-read for manufacturers, investors, business strategists, researchers, consultants, and all those who have any kind of stake or are planning to foray into the Gorlin syndrome market in any manner.

Recent Developments:

• In April 2024, DermBiont published beneficial preliminary results from its current open label, multi-center Phase 2a research for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). As a result, DermBiont has reprioritized SM-020, a first-in-class, patient-applied, topical kinase inhibitor, for the development of two lead orphan disease oncology indications: locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC) treatment and BCC prevention in Gorlin Syndrome patients.
• In November 2023, Sol-Gel Technologies reported that it had commenced Phase 3 testing of SGT-610 (patidegib gel, 2%) for Gorlin syndrome, with the first patient screened. SGT-610 is a novel topical hedgehog inhibitor being developed to prevent new basal cell carcinoma lesions in Gorlin syndrome patients. It is predicted to have a better safety profile than oral hedgehog inhibitors.

Key Highlights:

• The estimated prevalence of Gorlin syndrome ranges from 1/30,827 to 1/256,000, with a minimum of 1/57,000.
• In Europe, the prevalence is projected to be between 1/31,000 and 164,000.
• Gorlin syndrome is estimated to affect 1 in 31,000 people in the United States.
• The condition affects males and women roughly equally (1:1.3).
• Gorlin syndrome can result in premature death in 10% of cases.

Drugs:

PTX-022 is a unique topical formulation of the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin based on Palvella's patented and patent-pending QTORIN formulation and delivery technology. QTORIN uses a highly tailored excipient composition to distribute mTOR inhibitors into basal keratinocytes that have mutant keratin genes.

Patidegib (SGT-610) is a hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitor, specifically designed to treat Gorlin syndrome by blocking the Smoothened (SMO) protein. In Gorlin syndrome, mutations in the PTCH1 gene lead to overactivation of the hedgehog pathway, causing uncontrolled cell division and the formation of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). By inhibiting SMO, patidegib aims to halt this excessive cell division and reduce the formation of new BCCs.
