KRT5 and epidermolysis bullosa: The three mutations were mimicked by deleting, respectively, Asn183 (mt1), Val170_Lys191 (mt2), and Arg464_Ala468 (mt3) of chicken K5, which correspond to Asn177, Val 164_ Lys 185, and Arg429_Ala433 of human K5, which may lead to epidermolysis bullosa herpetiformis, Dowling-Meara type (Rugg et al. 1999; Kemp et al. 2005; Kang et al. 2010) (supplementary table S7, Supplementary Material online).
