Description
 The KRT13 p.T170S variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs148102980) and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Illumina Clinical Services Laboratory for the associated condition White Sponge Nevus of Cannon). The variant was identified in control databases in 181 of 282822 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00064 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: European (non-Finnish) in 172 of 129152 chromosomes (freq: 0.001332), Other in 4 of 7226 chromosomes (freq: 0.000554) and African in 5 of 24954 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), but was not observed in the Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), or South Asian populations. The p.T170 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, MutationTaster, Revel, FATHMM, MetaLR, DANN) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (Splice AI exome) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign.
