A KRT6A mutation p.Ile462Asn in a Chinese family with pachyonychia congenita, and identification of maternal mosaicism: a case report

Abstract Background Pachyonychia congenita (PC, OMIM #167200, #167210, #615726, #615728, and #615735) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by keratin gene mutations in KRT6A,KRT6B,KRT6C,KRT16 or KRT17. It is characterized with nail dystrophy and palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK). The most promi...

He began to develop palmoplantar keratoderma at 2 years old and his sister has similar clinical manifestation characterized with nail discoloration and thickening. A previously reported heterozygous mutation, p.Ile462Asn, was identified in KRT6A in the proband and his affected sister.
