Brooke-Spiegler syndrome (BSS) is a rare autosomal dominant condition where affected individuals have multiple trichoepitheliomas, cylindromas, and spiradenomas.
Work comparing specific mutations in Brooke-Spiegler syndrome, familial cylindromatosis, and multiple familial trichoepithelioma type 1 kindreds may reveal genotype-phenotype correlations and may promote increased understanding of disease mechanisms allowing for development of future therapeutic modalities [22].
