Trichilemmal cysts (also named pilar cyst) derived from the outer root sheath of the deeper parts of the hair follicle can segregate dominantly, and are caused by a yet unknown gene. In order to identify candidate genes for this trait we have ascertained a Danish family with 38 persons (11 affected), and carried out a genome wide scan with 580 DNA micro-satellite markers to identify the locus for a gene, which we termed TRICY1 (for trichilemmal cysts). We found tight linkage to D3S1277 (Z = 4.63; theta(M = F) = 0.00), with flanking markers D3S2432 (Z = 1.59; theta(M = F) = 0.08), and D3S3685 (Z = 2.69; theta(M = F) = 0.08) spanning 10.3 Mb on chromosome 3p24-p21.2. We sequenced two candidate genes previously reported in inherited hair defects, CTNNB1 and MLH1 but failed to detect mutations in exons and intron-exon bounders.
