Cholesterol granulomas are seen in mice with a semi-dominant point mutation in the gene encoding ribosomal protein L38 (Rpl38) and in mice with a semi-dominant mutation in the gene encoding the nuclear scaffold lamin A/C proteins (Lmna) (Noben-Trauth and Latoche, 2011; Zhang et al., 2012). This evidence concerns the gene RPL38 and Granuloma.
