Prevalence of genetic variants of keratins 8 and 18 in patients with drug-induced liver injury

BACKGROUND: Keratin 8 and 18 (K8/K18) cytoskeletal proteins protect hepatocytes from undergoing apoptosis and their mutations predispose to adverse outcomes in acute liver failure (ALF). All known K8/K18 variants occur at relatively non-conserved residues and do not cause keratin cytoskeleton reorga...
