Genes affected
KRT5 (HGNC:6442): (keratin 5) 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 specifically expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis with family member KRT14. Mutations in these genes have been associated with a complex of diseases termed epidermolysis bullosa simplex. The type II cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q12-q13.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJun 07, 2023Published 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) -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesFeb 22, 2024The 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, and homozygous states in multiple individuals with epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) (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, another missense variant at the same amino acid position (p.Glu170Gly) has also been reported in a pair of siblings with a EBS phenotype (Rugg et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17039244). Taken together, the p.Glu170Lys variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
