 Kiloids are benign tumors that occur when the body overproduces collagen following an injury or surgery. They are more common among people of African descent and can run in families. The cause of Kiloids is not fully understood, but it is thought to involve both environmental and genetic factors. Genetic studies have identified several genes associated with Kiloid development, but none have been conclusively linked to the condition. Researchers are now looking at other factors like epigenetics, gene expression, and protein analysis to better understand how Kiloids develop.
