Genes affected
KRT2 (HGNC:6439): (keratin 2) 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 expressed largely in the upper spinous layer of epidermal keratinocytes and mutations in this gene have been associated with bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma. The type II cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q12-q13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Located within the highly conserved helix termination motif (2B) of the rod domain of keratin 2, a well-known mutational hot spot region that is intolerant to change; Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29171394, 29444371, 26581228, 10688369, 10233323, 31953843, 33081034, 32881395, 7524919, 24077912) -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 487 of the KRT2 protein (p.Glu487Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with epidermolytic ichthyosis (PMID: 26581228, 29444371, 31953843). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9310). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt KRT2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
