Genes affected
KLK4 (HGNC:6365): (kallikrein related peptidase 4) Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases having diverse physiological functions. Growing evidence suggests that many kallikreins are implicated in carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. In some tissues its expression is hormonally regulated. The expression pattern of a similar mouse protein in murine developing teeth supports a role for the protein in the degradation of enamel proteins. Several transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

Amelogenesis imperfecta type 2A1 Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMar 25, 2024The p.Trp153X variant in KLK4 has been reported in 2 homozygous individuals with amelogenesis imperfecta and segregated with disease in at least 1 affected relative from 1 family (Hart 2004 PMID: 15235027, Wright 2011 PMID: 21597265). This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 6079) and has been identified in 0.22% (92/41468) of African/African American chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v4.0.0). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 153, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function variants in the KLK4 gene have been reported in individuals with autosomal recessive amelogenesis imperfecta (Wang 2013 PMID: 23355523, Seymen 2015 PMID: 26124219, Smith 2017 PMID: 28611678, Lee 2022 PMID: 35207639). Additionally, studies have shown that KLK4 null mice had defective enamel, recapitulating features of the human phenotype (Simmer 2009 PubMed: 19578120, Nunez 2016 PMID: 26620968). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive amelogenesis imperfecta.
