Multiple Familial Trichoepithelioma Caused by Mutations in the Cylindromatosis Tumor Suppressor Gene
1 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
The recessive oncogene cylindromatosis (CYLD) mapping on 16q12-q13 is generally implicated in familial cylindromatosis, whereas a gene region for multiple familial trichoepithelioma has been assigned to 9p21. Markers from both chromosome intervals were subjected to linkage analysis in a large family with multiple hereditary trichoepithelioma (TE) from Algeria. Linkage to 9p21 was excluded, whereas CYLD remained...
