Based on the limited available literature, there are increased numbers of CD45RO+/35F9+/MRP8/9+ fibrocytes in keloids compared with normotrophic scars (Iqbal et al., 2012), and moreover, PBMCs derived from keloid patients produced more LSP-1+/collagen1+ fibrocytes than PBMCs from healthy controls (Naylor et al., 2012). The gene discussed is LSP1; the disease is keloid.
