Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM1PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000424.4(KRT5):c.991C>T(p.Arg331Cys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000889 in 1,461,874 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R331G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 331 of the KRT5 protein (p.Arg331Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs61297109, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with KRT5-related conditions (PMID: 7506097; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 66298). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on KRT5 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg331 amino acid residue in KRT5. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16786515, 20060687, 21375516). 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. -

Located in the L1,2 linker region of the rod domain of keratin 5, which is highly conserved across all species and among other members of the keratin family; keratin gene variants affecting residues in this region 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: 22005030, 10782015, 7506097, 17039244, 9989794, 12655565, 20199538, 21176769) -
