Variants in GJB4 are classically associated with Erythrokeratodermia variabilis, but there is remarkable clinical heterogeneity. Our observation that the same variant caused different phenotypes within the same family corroborates clinical heterogeneity and suggests that other genes that compose the genetic background exert some influence on the disease phenotype.
