Keratins 8 and 18 (KRT8 and KRT18 genes; K8 and K18 proteins) variants are risk factors for developing end-stage liver disease and may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease and chronic pancreatitis. The frequency of K8/K18 variants in American, British, German, and Italian populations differs. For example, one study showed no amino acid-altering K8/K18 mutations in 256 German patients with liver...
