Also known as: ichthyosis, annular epidermolytic, 2
Genes linked to Ichthyosis, annular epidermolytic 1
KRT1: Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 1
It pairs with keratin 10 to provide mechanical resilience to suprabasal epidermal cells and help maintain the skin barrier. Dominant pathogenic variants cause epidermolytic ichthyosis and related palmoplantar keratoderma phenotypes.
2 disease-causing and 1 uncertain variants in KRT1 are linked to Ichthyosis, annular epidermolytic 1.
KRT10: Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 10
It forms intermediate filaments with keratin 1 in differentiating epidermal keratinocytes, protecting the upper epidermis from mechanical stress. Dominant pathogenic variants cause epidermolytic ichthyosis, while specific mechanisms can produce ichthyosis with confetti.
0 disease-causing and 0 uncertain variants in KRT10 are linked to Ichthyosis, annular epidermolytic 1.
Known disease-causing variants in Ichthyosis, annular epidermolytic 1
| Variant | Position | Protein part | Clinical label |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRT1 N188S | 188 | IF rod | Disease-causing (★★) |
| KRT1 I479F | 479 | IF rod | Disease-causing |
Same protein, different disease
- Annular epidermolytic ichthyosis is also caused by KRT1 variants; they fall partly in the same places as the Ichthyosis, annular epidermolytic 1 variants (5 disease-causing).
- Epidermolytic ichthyosis is also caused by KRT1 variants; they fall mostly in different places as the Ichthyosis, annular epidermolytic 1 variants (5 disease-causing).

About this data
Variant–disease links come from ClinVar, Open Targets and UniProt, pooled from the latest public CATVariant analysis of each human protein. Evidence scores use the ACMG/AMP Bayesian points scale with computable criteria only (position among known disease variants, rarity in gnomAD, calibrated predictors, deep mutational scanning); there is no family or patient data, so they prioritise variants for expert review and never classify them.
