a Orthologous human <strong>and</strong> mouse keratin genes of each clusters I <strong>and</strong> II are compared in a separate table Tables 1 <strong>and</strong> 2 follow the new <strong>and</strong><br />

open nomenclature based on the principles of the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee. A comparative table aligning the old nomenclature<br />

to the novel system is available as a guideline in Magin et al. (4). The major expression <strong>and</strong> knockout phenotype is briefly outlined in all cases<br />

where keratin-deficient mice are generated <strong>and</strong> characterized. Double- <strong>and</strong> triple-keratin knock outs are shaded in gray. The human pathology<br />

that could be deduced from a mutated keratin gene is briefly outlined but does not inevitably coincide with the phenotype of mice with a targeted<br />

deletion in the orthologuous keratin gene. (C57BL/6x129X1SvJ) <strong>and</strong> (FVB/N) are mice strains.
