Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP3PP5_Moderate
The NM_000082.4(ERCC8):c.397C>T(p.Gln133*) variant causes a stop gained, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000694 in 1,441,480 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
ERCC8 (HGNC:3439): (ERCC excision repair 8, CSA ubiquitin ligase complex subunit) This gene encodes a WD repeat protein, which interacts with Cockayne syndrome type B (CSB) protein and with p44 protein, a subunit of the RNA polymerase II transcription factor IIH. Mutations in this gene have been identified in patients with hereditary disease Cockayne syndrome (CS). CS cells are abnormally sensitive to ultraviolet radiation and are defective in the repair of transcriptionally active genes. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
