    TLDR The Bsk mutation doesn't involve keratin gene recombination and its cause is unknown.
    The study on Bsk mice concluded that the Bsk mutation did not involve a recombination of cornea-specific keratin 12 and skin-specific hair keratin genes. The gene responsible for the Bsk mutation was not identified, and the observed pathological changes in the skin and corneas were suggested to be secondary effects due to the loss of protective hairs and lashes through an unknown mechanism.
