October 2019 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study identified a high-risk allele in the PLCD1 gene associated with hereditary trichilemmal cyst formation, proposing a monoallelic two-hit mechanism as the underlying genetic pathogenesis.
April 2017 in “Journal of dermatological science” This study found that while epidermal PLCγ1 is not necessary for keratinocyte differentiation in interfollicular epidermis, it is crucial for normal hair and sebaceous gland formation in mice.

March 2019 in “European Journal of Human Genetics” This study found genetic variations, including de novo variants and copy number variations, that may be associated with phenotypic discordance in monozygotic twins with various clinical conditions.
This study used whole-genome resequencing to analyze genetic diversity and selection in 17 rabbit breeds, identifying genes linked to traits like coat color and body size, which could inform breeding and conservation efforts.
