    Hereditary cylindromatosis (HC; MIM 132700) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by benign skin appendage tumors most commonly on the scalp and face. Previously, the HC gene (CYLD1) was linked to chromosome 16q12-13, and tumors showed loss of heterozygosity (LOH), suggesting that CYLD1 is a tumor suppressor gene. Here we report a new multi-generation cylindromatosis family whose condition maps to that region, with 7/13 tumors showing LOH on 16q.
