Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the KRT10 Gene Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis Genetic Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with the KRT10 gene mutation.
Test Details
The KRT10 gene is responsible for producing a protein called keratin 10, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure and integrity of the epidermis. Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the KRT10 gene. These mutations disrupt the normal production of keratin 10, leading to skin abnormalities.
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a cutting-edge technology that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes. In the case of EHK, NGS genetic testing can identify mutations in the KRT10 gene associated with the disorder. This information confirms the diagnosis of EHK and provides valuable insights into the specific genetic changes involved.
Understanding the genetic changes associated with EHK can be beneficial for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially guiding treatment decisions.

Test Details |
The KRT10 gene is responsible for providing instructions for making a protein called keratin 10. This protein is primarily found in the skin, where it helps to maintain the structure and integrity of the epidermis. Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is a rare genetic disorder that is caused by mutations in the KRT10 gene. These mutations disrupt the normal production of keratin 10, leading to abnormalities in the skin. NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic testing is a type of genetic test that uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyze multiple genes simultaneously. In the case of EHK, NGS genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the KRT10 gene that are associated with the disorder. By identifying these mutations, NGS genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis of EHK and provide information about the specific genetic changes involved. This information can be useful for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially guiding treatment decisions. |
