Identification of a KRT9 gene variant and preimplantation genetic diagnosis in a Chinese family with KRT9-palmoplantar epidermal differentiation disorder.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo investigate a Chinese family with epidermolysis bullosa palmoplantar keratosis, analyze the mutation loci in this family lineage, and perform preimplantation genetic testing using assisted reproductive technology to enable affected members of this Chinese family to have unaffected offspring.
methodsClinical information and blood samples were collected from all affected family members to extract genomic DNA. We detected a mutation site in the KRT9 gene through whole-exome sequencing, then verified this family line's Keratin-9 gene variant locus using Sanger sequencing. After the pathogenicity was clarified, blastocyst trophoblast cells were extracted for Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic (PGT-M)(Single Gene) Disorders using the in vitro fertilization embryo transfer technique, and suitable embryos were selected for transfer. Amniocentesis was performed to extract fetal exfoliated cells for prenatal diagnosis at 18 weeks of fetal development.
resultsA heterozygous mutation c.503T > C (p. Leu168Ser), which results in the substitution of a leucine for a serine (p. Leu168Ser), was detected in the KRT9 gene in the proband and his father, which is located in the highly conserved helix 1 A region of Keratin 9, resulting in an abnormal function of the intermediate filamentous proteins expressed by Keratin 9 encodes genes which are expressed in the palmo-plantar regions of the epidermis, and the patients of the family present with pronounced palmar-plantar keratoderma.
conclusionWe identified the c.503T > C (p. Leu168Ser) missense mutation in exon 1 of the KRT9 gene as the cause of KRT9-palmoplantar epidermal differentiation disorder (KRT9-pEDD) in a Chinese family. Under the guidance of comprehensive genetic counseling, employing PGT-M, we successfully prevented the transmission of the KRT9-pEDD pathogenic variant, resulting in the birth of a healthy child.
