Genes affected
ERCC2 (HGNC:3434): (ERCC excision repair 2, TFIIH core complex helicase subunit) The nucleotide excision repair pathway is a mechanism to repair damage to DNA. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair and is an integral member of the basal transcription factor BTF2/TFIIH complex. The gene product has ATP-dependent DNA helicase activity and belongs to the RAD3/XPD subfamily of helicases. Defects in this gene can result in three different disorders, the cancer-prone syndrome xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D, trichothiodystrophy, and Cockayne syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

The c.2041G>A (p.D681N) alteration is located in exon 21 (coding exon 21) of the ERCC2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2041, causing the aspartic acid (D) at amino acid position 681 to be replaced by an asparagine (N). Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of 0.002% (5/251346) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.004% (5/113664) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other ERCC2 variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with ERCC2-related spectrum disorders (Graham, 2001; Boyle, 2008; Zhou, 2013; Tamura, 2012). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. The in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 681 of the ERCC2 protein (p.Asp681Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs121913023, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with ERCC2-related conditions (PMID: 11443545, 18470933, 23232694). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16787). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ERCC2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Asp681 amino acid residue in ERCC2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with ERCC2-related conditions (PMID: 22234153, 23800062, 28749383), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: ERCC2 c.2041G>A (p.Asp681Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the ATP-dependent helicase, C-terminal domain (IPR006555) of the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251346 control chromosomes. c.2041G>A has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype in at least one individual affected with Xeroderma Pigmentosum (example: Lehmann_2001, Boyle_2008), an individual with trichothiodystrophy (example: Zhou_2013), an individual with UV-sensitive COFS Syndrome (example: Graham_2001), and a fetus with ultrasound anomalies suggestive of COFS Syndrome (example: Sun_2023). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18470933, 11443545, 11156600, 36310088, 23232694). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16787). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
