This study identified specific germline and somatic mutations in the Phospholipase C Delta 1 gene as high-risk factors for developing hereditary trichilemmal cysts, involving a monoallelic two-hit mechanism.

In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.

Among families with pediatric brain disease, this study identified over 200 novel genetic causes, revealing potential treatment points using drug repurposing or nutritional supplementation.

This study reported that age and diabetes are major factors influencing trichilemmal cyst development and size, highlighting the importance of these conditions for risk assessment and surgical planning.

This study found that both genome-wide screening methods identified the VTRNA2-1 epiallele as highly responsive to environmental influences, suggesting a link between early embryonic environment, epigenetic changes, and human disease.
