Genes affected
ERCC4 (HGNC:3436): (ERCC excision repair 4, endonuclease catalytic subunit) The protein encoded by this gene forms a complex with ERCC1 and is involved in the 5' incision made during nucleotide excision repair. This complex is a structure specific DNA repair endonuclease that interacts with EME1. Defects in this gene are a cause of xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group F (XP-F), or xeroderma pigmentosum VI (XP6).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ERCC4-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs750358005, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 12 of the ERCC4 protein (p.Met12Val). -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.34A>G (p.M12V) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the ERCC4 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 34, causing the methionine (M) at amino acid position 12 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Jun 17, 2025
St. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The ERCC4 c.34A>G p.(Met12Val) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.0086% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with Fanconi anemia or Xeroderma pigmentosum. In summary, the evidence currently available is i nsufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -
