Genes affected
KRT5 (HGNC:6442): (keratin 5) 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. This type II cytokeratin is specifically expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis with family member KRT14. Mutations in these genes have been associated with a complex of diseases termed epidermolysis bullosa simplex. The type II cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q12-q13.

KRT5-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesMar 21, 2023The KRT5 c.1675C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg559*). This variant was reported to occur de novo in a 51 year old individual with moderate localized epidermolysis bullosa simplex (Bchetnia et al 2012. PubMed ID: 21877134). The c.1675C>T variant is located in the last exon of KRT5 and may not result in nonsense-mediated decay. Other frameshift variants reported in this last exon have been reported with autosomal dominant inheritance, but many of them result in amino acid substitutions and extension of the protein (Yalici-Armagan. 2020. PubMed ID: 31965605; Kim. 2017. PubMed ID: 28561874). This variant is reported in 0.011% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/12-52908824-G-A). We interpret this variant this variant as likely pathogenic. -
