Popis: Background Pineal cyst is a benign lesion commonly occurring in people of any age. Until now, the underlying molecular alterations have not been explored. Methods We performed whole exome sequencing of 93 germline samples and 21 pineal cyst tissue samples to illustrate its genetic architecture and somatic mutations. The dominant and recessive inheritance modes were considered, and a probability was calculated to evaluate the significance of variant overrepresentation. Results By analyzing pineal cyst as a Mendelian disease with a dominant inheritance pattern, we identified 42,325 rare germline variants, and NM_001004711.1:c.476A>G was highly enriched (FDRT, was overrepresented (FDR
Whole exome sequencing of 93 germline samples and 21 pineal cyst tissue samples was performed to study the molecular mechanism of pineal cysts. A list of overrepresented germline genetic variants and somatic mutations were identified for future validation. ​
