Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the KRT9 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: May serve an important special function either in the mature palmar and plantar skin tissue or in the morphogenetic program of the formation of these tissues. Plays a role in keratin filament assembly. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10218578, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7507869}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Keratoderma, palmoplantar, epidermolytic (EPPK) [MIM:144200]: A dermatological disorder characterized by diffuse thickening of the epidermis on the entire surface of palms and soles sharply bordered with erythematous margins. Some patients may present knuckle pads, thick pads of skin appearing over the proximal phalangeal joints. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10632938, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10844507, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12072061, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12192490, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12838553, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12926810, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14675368, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15099359, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15115518, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15605275, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16911293, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16961539, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19874353, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20964665, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21715251, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7511021, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7512862, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7516304, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7523529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7532199, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8647270, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9204965, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9856842}.
