| Mutation Description |
"In P. tricuspis, a set of nucleotide deletions, premature stop codons, and a validated single-nucleotide insertion were identified" |

| Timing of Loss |
"Such mutational patterns indicate an independent Dgat2l6 erosion among pangolin lineages." |

| Phenotypic |
"Ancestral (i.e., Awat1, Awat2, Aadacl3) and independent (i.e., Dgat2l6) pseudogenization events in genes associated with epidermal lipids and sebum production strongly suggest a progressive impairment of the sebum-producing molecular machinery in pangolin lineages." |
