NCIt definition : Human CYLD wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16q12.1 and is approximately
60 kb in length. This allele, which encodes ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase
CYLD protein, plays a role in the regulation of both protein ubiquitination and the
cell cycle. Mutation of the gene is associated with cylindromatosis, multiple familial
trichoepithelioma, and Brooke-Spiegler syndrome and may be associated with many types
of cancer.;
