Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the KRT16 gene is commonly pathogenic or not.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

• Function: FUNCTION: Epidermis-specific type I keratin that plays a key role in skin. Acts as a regulator of innate immunity in response to skin barrier breach: required for some inflammatory checkpoint for the skin barrier maintenance. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z2K1}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Pachyonychia congenita 1 (PC1) [MIM:167200]: An autosomal dominant ectodermal dysplasia characterized by hypertrophic nail dystrophy resulting in onchyogryposis (thickening and increase in curvature of the nail), palmoplantar keratoderma, follicular hyperkeratosis, and oral leukokeratosis. Hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet is usually present. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10521820, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10606845, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10839714, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11359398, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11886499, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16250206, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17719747, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21160496, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21326300, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22668561, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24118415, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7539673}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Keratoderma, palmoplantar, non-epidermolytic, focal 1 (FNEPPK1) [MIM:613000]: A dermatological disorder characterized by non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma limited to the pressure points on the balls of the feet, with later mild involvement on the palms. Oral, genital and follicular keratotic lesions are often present. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8595410}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Note=KRT16 and KRT17 are coexpressed only in pathological situations such as metaplasias and carcinomas of the uterine cervix and in psoriasis vulgaris.
