Penetrance
Penetrance has not been systematically studied in cherubism. a previous report of reduced penetrance in females compared to males [anderson &mcclendon 1962] was subsequently shown to have bias in terms of how unaffected status was ascribed to the adult females [reichenberger et al 2012].

Cherubism is a disorder characterized by abnormal bone tissue in the lower part of the face. Beginning in early childhood, both the lower jaw (the mandible) and the upper jaw (the maxilla) become enlarged as bone is replaced with painless, cyst-like growths. These growths give the cheeks a swollen, rounded appearance and often interfere with normal tooth development. In some people the condition is so mild that it may not be noticeable, while other cases are severe enough to cause problems with vision, breathing, speech, and swallowing. Enlargement of the jaw usually continues throughout childhood and stabilizes during puberty. The abnormal growths are gradually replaced with normal bone in early adulthood. As a result, many affected adults have a normal facial appearance.
Most people with cherubism have few, if any, signs and symptoms affecting other parts of the body. Rarely, however, this condition occurs as part of another genetic disorder. For example, cherubism can occur with Ramon syndrome, which also involves short stature, intellectual disability, and overgrowth of the gums (gingival fibrosis). Additionally, cherubism has been reported in rare cases of Noonan syndrome (a developmental disorder characterized by unusual facial characteristics, short stature, and heart defects) and fragile X syndrome (a condition primarily affecting males that causes learning disabilities and cognitive impairment).
MalaCards based summary : Cherubism, also known as crbm, is related to bone resorption disease and osteopetrosis. An important gene associated with Cherubism is SH3BP2 (SH3 Domain Binding Protein 2), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity and Cytokine Signaling in Immune system. Affiliated tissues include bone, testes and heart, and related phenotypes are full cheeks and bone cyst NIH Rare Diseases : 53 Cherubism is a rare disorder characterized by progressive, painless, bilateral swelling of the jaw during childhood. This fibro-osseous (bone structure) condition is self-limiting, with symptoms typically resolving in adulthood. Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical signs, family history, radiographic findings (panoramic x-rays, CT scan), biopsy, and genetic testing. Cherubism is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and is caused by mutations in the SH3BP2 gene. Treatment tends to be conservative (wait-and-see), with surgery reserved for the most severe cases. KEGG : 37 ![]() UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 74 Cherubism: An autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by excessive bone degradation of the upper and lower jaws, which often begins around three years of age. It is followed by development of fibrous tissue masses, which causes a characteristic facial swelling.
