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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.59).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.172 with no splicing effect.
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (SAS) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.709 is higher than 0.05.
