Gardner syndrome was described by Eldon J.Gardner (1909-1989). In a paper that appeared in the second volume of The American Journal of Human Genetic (1950) he suggested that a dominant mutant gene causes polyposis of the large intestine. Although this had been well documented before Gardner went further in later publications by observing that people with polyposis of the large intestine also had multiple osteomas, sebaceous cysts and multiple fibromas.
