Genes affected
KRT8 (HGNC:6446): (keratin 8) This gene is a member of the type II keratin family clustered on the long arm of chromosome 12. Type I and type II keratins heteropolymerize to form intermediate-sized filaments in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. The product of this gene typically dimerizes with keratin 18 to form an intermediate filament in simple single-layered epithelial cells. This protein plays a role in maintaining cellular structural integrity and also functions in signal transduction and cellular differentiation. Mutations in this gene cause cryptogenic cirrhosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

risk factor, no assertion criteria providedcurationReproductive Health Research and Development, BGI GenomicsJan 06, 2020NM_002273.3:c.160T>C in the KRT8 gene has an allele frequency of 0.022 in African subpopulation in the gnomAD database. Two patients with liver disease or noncryptogenic chronic or acute liver disease were found to have this variant (PMID: 11372009). The author proposed that mutations in the keratin 8 gene may predispose people to liver disease (PMID: 11372009; PMID: 12724528). Taken together, we interprete this variant as risk factor variant. -
