The Gene for Multiple Familial Trichoepithelioma Maps to Chromosome 9p21

Abstract: Multiple familial trichoepithelioma (MFT) is an autosomal dominant skin disease characterized by the presence of many small tumors predominantly on the face. To map the causative gene, we performed linkage analysis with microsatellite markers in three American families. We found a significant linkage of a gene for MFT to chromosome 9p2l. The maximum combined lod score was 3.31 at D9S171 at theta = 0. The disease locus was defined to a 4-cM region between IFNA and D9S126. Because several tumor suppressor genes … Show more

“…Two-point limit of detection-score analyses were performed for linkage between disease status and every marker using the MLINK program of Linkage software package version 5.1 (17) assuming a monogenic effect in a dominant mode of inheritance, a disease allele frequency of 1:10,000, and a penetrance of 98%. Locus order was derived from the human genome working draft database 6 for markers on chromosomes 9 and from Bignell et al (8) for markers on chromosome 16. Allele frequencies were adopted from the Genome Database, 5 where possible, or set to be equally distributed (CDRP23, 28, and D16S416).…”

“…In 1996, Harada et al (6) reported linkage of autosomal dominant multiple TE to chromosome 9p21. However, in contrast to the notion of genetic identity of cylindroma and TE, defects of a tumor repressor gene on chromosome 16, CYLD, were documented to cause familial cylindromatosis (7,8).…”

“…In 1996, Harada et al (1996) located a pathogenic gene of MFT on 9p21, but its target gene has not been identified, and there are many tumor suppressor genes in this location. In 2004, Zhang et al (2004) found that the CYLD gene located on chromosome 16q12-13 was the pathogenic gene for MFT in a Chinese pedigree.…”

“…5 The gene for multiple familial trichoepithelioma has been mapped to chromosome 9p21. 12 Clearly, it would be interesting to investigate whether trichoepitheliomas arising within the setting of familial cylindromatosis show alterations at this locus.…”
