Description
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)
