Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PM1PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000424.4(KRT5):c.508G>A(p.Glu170Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000161 in 1,613,946 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E170G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect due to disruption of keratin intermediate filament alignment and formation, leading to cytoplasmic aggregates and a weakened cytoskeleton (Yasukawa et al., 2002); Located in the highly conserved helix initiation motif of the alpha-helical rod domain, which is intolerant to change; variants in this motif interfere with proper keratin intermediate filament assembly and function, resulting in skin fragility and/or hyperkeratosis (Chamcheu et al., 2011); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20055872, 20030639, 31302245, 26432462, 17549391, 11990248, 21144712, 26707537, 28425111, 31589614, 12707098, 18704110, 16786515, 21176769, 11973334) -

KRT5-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The KRT5 c.508G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu170Lys. This variant has been reported in the heterozygous, compound heterozygous, or homozygous state in individuals with epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) and segregated with disease in the affected family members (for example, see Yasukawa et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 11973334; Ołdak et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21144712; Wertheim-Tysarowska et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26432462; González-Cantero et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28425111). Fluorescent confocal microscopy of affected patient tissues revealed that this variant leads to increased formation of keratin aggregates and disruption of the epidermal keratin filament network (Yasukawa et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 11973334). This variant is reported in 0.0080% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. Of note, a different missense variant at the same amino acid position (p.Glu170Gly) has also been reported in individuals with an EBS phenotype (Family 18 in Table S1, Rugg et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17039244). Taken together, the p.Glu170Lys variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
