A novel mutation of CYLD in a Chinese family with multiple familial trichoepithelioma

Abstract

Background  Trichoepithelioma is a benign cutaneous tumour that originates from hair follicles and occurs either as a sporadic non-familial or a multiple-familial type. Recently, several mutations in the cylindromatosis (CYLD) gene have been reported in multiple familial trichoepithelioma (MFT).


Objectives  To report a Chinese family of MFT and to explore the genetic mutation.


Methods  A Chinese pedigree of typical MFT was subjected to mutation detection in CYLD. Direct sequencing of all PCR products of the whole coding regions of CYLD gene was performed to identify the mutation.


Results  The c.1178-1179delCA (p.T393fs) mutation was ...
