DESCRIPTION

Keratin intermediate filaments (KIFs) are assembled from heterodimeric subunits comprised of a type I and a type II protein. Keratin-13 (KRT13) is a member of the type I (acidic) subfamily of genes characteristic of the internal stratified epithelia (Romano et al., 1991).

MAPPING

By PCR amplification with cytokeratin 13-specific DNA antimers of a human-hamster somatic cell hybrid DNA panel, Romano et al. (1991) mapped the KRT13 gene to chromosome 17. By means of in situ hybridization, they determined the subchromosomal localization to be 17q12-q22. They further analyzed this region by pulsed field gel electrophoresis and demonstrated that the KRT13 gene is in the same large DNA fragment as the KRT10 (148080) and KRT15 (148030) genes. Further experiments performed with conventional agarose gel electrophoresis showed that the KRT10 and KRT13 genes are located in the same 14-kb fragment. A correlation of assignments of the 3 genes makes 17q21-q22 the likely location of the cluster. Romano et al. (1992) gave the location as 17q12-q21.2. Ceratto et al. (1997) isolated and analyzed a YAC clone that mapped to 17q12-q21 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. By Southern analysis and pulsed field gel electrophoresis they concluded that KRT13, KRT14 (148066), KRT15, KRT16, and the linked type I genes KRT17 (148069) and KRT19 (148020), are contained in less than 150 kb of genomic DNA.

MOLECULAR GENETICS

In affected members of a multigenerational Italian family segregating white sponge nevus-2 (WSN2; 615785), Richard et al. (1995) identified heterozygosity for a missense mutation in the KRT13 gene (148065.0001). In a Japanese mother and 2 children with WSN2, who were negative for mutation in the KRT4 gene (123940), Shibuya et al. (2003) identified heterozygosity for a missense mutation in the KRT13 gene (L111P; 148065.0002). ... More on the omim web site
