Keratin disease
A keratin disease (or keratinopathy) is a genetic disorder of one of the keratin genes.
An example is monilethrix.[1]
The first to be identified was epidermolysis bullosa simplex.[2][3]
Examples include:
Name | Skin/hair | Keratin |
---|---|---|
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex | skin | KRT5, KRT14 |
Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis | skin | KRT1, KRT10 |
Ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens | skin | KRT2A |
Palmoplantar keratoderma | skin | KRT1, KRT9, KRT16 |
Pachyonychia congenita | skin | KRT6A, KRT6B, KRT16, KRT17 |
White sponge nevus | skin | KRT4, KRT13 |
Steatocystoma multiplex | skin | KRT17 |
Monilethrix | hair | KRT81, KRT83, KRT86 |
Meesman juvenile epithelial corneal dystrophy | cornea | KRT3, KRT12 |
Familial cirrhosis | liver | KRT8, KRT18 |
