Genes affected

KRT6A (HGNC:6443): (keratin 6A) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. The type II cytokeratins consist of basic or neutral proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains coexpressed during differentiation of simple and stratified epithelial tissues. As many as six of this type II cytokeratin (KRT6) have been identified; the multiplicity of the genes is attributed to successive gene duplication events. The genes are expressed with family members KRT16 and/or KRT17 in the filiform papillae of the tongue, the stratified epithelial lining of oral mucosa and esophagus, the outer root sheath of hair follicles, and the glandular epithelia. This KRT6 gene in particular encodes the most abundant isoform. Mutations in these genes have been associated with pachyonychia congenita. In addition, peptides from the C-terminal region of the protein have antimicrobial activity against bacterial pathogens. The type II cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q12-q13.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.63).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.364 with no splicing effect.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.00000684 (10/1461824) while in subpopulation SAS AF = 0.000104 (9/86250). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000054. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 10 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 35. This position passed quality control check.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 10 AD gene.
