Genes affected

KRT16 (HGNC:6423): (keratin 16) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins. Most of the type I cytokeratins consist of acidic proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains and are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21. This keratin has been coexpressed with keratin 14 in a number of epithelial tissues, including esophagus, tongue, and hair follicles. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 1 pachyonychia congenita, non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma and unilateral palmoplantar verrucous nevus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The R127G variant has been reported in association with pachyonychia congenita (Wilson et al., 2014; Cao et al., 2015). The R127G variant is a non-conservative amino acid change and located in a highly conserved region coding for the helix initiation motif of keratin 16, a known hotspot. According to the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD), many other variants at this residue (R127C, R127S, R127P, R127H) have been reported in association with KRT16-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014). Moreover, R127G was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 127 of the KRT16 protein (p.Arg127Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with pachyonychia congenita (PMID: 24611874; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265217). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt KRT16 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg127 amino acid residue in KRT16. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8595410, 31823354). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
