Genes affected
KRT14 (HGNC:6416): (keratin 14) This gene encodes a member of the keratin family, the most diverse group of intermediate filaments. This gene product, a type I keratin, is usually found as a heterotetramer with two keratin 5 molecules, a type II keratin. Together they form the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. Mutations in the genes for these keratins are associated with epidermolysis bullosa simplex. At least one pseudogene has been identified at 17p12-p11. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative and loss of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene. Autosomal dominant epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is caused by dominant negative missense variants located in the central alpha-helical rod domain. Autosomal recessive EBS is caused by loss of function variants affecting more central or distal regions of the protein. Autosomal dominant Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn syndrome is caused by haploinsufficiency due to N-terminal (E1/V1 domain) null variants (PMID: 16960809). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease (OMIM). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to cysteine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0602 - Variant is located in a hotspot region or cluster of pathogenic variants. It is located at the start of the 1A segment of the rod domain (PMID: 18717745), which is one of the clusters of pathogenic variants associated with severe EBS (GeneReviews). (SP) 0801 - This variant has very strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It is regarded as pathogenic by multiple diagnostic laboratories in ClinVar and is one of the most common pathogenic variants associated with severe EBS (GeneReviews; PMID: 18717745). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 125 of the KRT14 protein (p.Arg125Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with epidermolysis bullosa simplex (PMID: 16098032). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14612). 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 not expected to disrupt KRT14 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects KRT14 function (PMID: 1717157). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate that this variant results in destabilization of the keratin filament network in basal keratinocytes and may result in intracellular keratin aggregates (Coulombe et al., 1991; Loffek et al., 2010); Located in the helix initiation motif of the 1A domain, a region intolerant to change; keratin gene variants affecting the residues at the ends of the central rod domains of the keratin proteins (helix initiation and termination motifs) interfere with proper keratin intermediate filament assembly and function, resulting in skin fragility, blistering, and/or hyperkeratosis (Chamcheu et al., 2011); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); 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: 20301543, 11480251, 10583131, 11331879, 21967011, 20151404, 27065010, 7561171, 10733662, 11869205, 26432462, 28830826, 25326635, 19040520, 16098032, 14962092, 30011071, 31001817, 31772641, 32383240, 33274474, 35052793, 35191026, 31957133, 32616561, 1717157, 26707537, 32484238, 21176769, 19854623) -

The KRT14 c.373C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg125Cys. This variant has been reported in many individuals with epidermolysis bullosa simplex, including several in whom the variant occurred de novo (see, for example, Coulombe et al. 1991. PubMed ID: 1717157; Pfendner et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 16098032; Table S1, Chen et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 36287101). Functional studies support its pathogenicity (Coulombe et al. 1991. PubMed ID: 1717157; Fujiwara et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32616561). Alternative nucleotide changes affecting the same amino acid (p.Arg125His, p.Arg125Ser, p.Arg125Gly, p.Arg125Pro, p.Arg125Leu) have been reported in individuals with epidermolysis bullosa simplex (Coulombe et al. 1991. PubMed ID: 1717157; Chen et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 36287101; Csikos et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 14987259; Human Gene Mutation Database, http://www.hgmd.cf.ac.uk/ac/index.php). The c.373C>T (p.Arg125Cys) variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating it is rare. In summary, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000014612, PMID:1717157, PS1_S). Different missense changes at the same codon have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000014613, PMID:1717157, 7561171, 12890194, 14987259, 19854623, PM5_M). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.899, 3CNET: 0.991, PP3_P). A missense variant is a common mechanism associated with Epidermolysis bullosa simplex 1B (PP2_P). It is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (PM2_M). The variant is located in a well-established functional domain or exonic hotspot, where pathogenic variants have frequently reported (PM1_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
