Genes affected

ERCC6 (HGNC:3438): (ERCC excision repair 6, chromatin remodeling factor) This gene encodes a DNA-binding protein that is important in transcription-coupled excision repair. The encoded protein has ATP-stimulated ATPase activity, interacts with several transcription and excision repair proteins, and may promote complex formation at DNA repair sites. Mutations in this gene are associated with Cockayne syndrome type B and cerebrooculofacioskeletal syndrome 1. Alternative splicing occurs between a splice site from exon 5 of this gene to the 3' splice site upstream of the open reading frame (ORF) of the adjacent gene, piggyback-derived-3 (GeneID:267004), which activates the alternative polyadenylation site downstream of the piggyback-derived-3 ORF. The resulting transcripts encode a fusion protein that shares sequence with the product of each individual gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

ERCC6 links:

PGBD3 (HGNC:19400): (piggyBac transposable element derived 3) This gene is a member of a small family of genes derived from piggyBac transposable elements. The encoded protein contains a zinc-ribbon domain characteristic of transposon-derived proteins and may function as a regulator of transcription. Alternative splicing occurs between a splice site from exon 5 of the adjacent upstream gene 'excision repair cross-complementation group 6' (ERCC6, GeneID: 2074) and the 3' splice site upstream of the open reading frame (ORF) of this gene, which activates the alternative polyadenylation site downstream of the piggyback-derived-3 ORF. The resulting transcripts encode a fusion protein that shares sequence with the product of each individual gene. Pseudogenes for this gene are defined on chromosomes 4, 5 and 12.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys337*) in the ERCC6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ERCC6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18628313, 29572252). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Cockayne syndrome (PMID: 1339317). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550722). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

The p.Lys337X variant in ERCC6 has been reported in a compound heterozygous state in an individual with Cockayne syndrome, who carried a second pathogenic variant in ERCC6 (Troelstra 1992 PMID: 1339317, Schmickel 1977 PMID: 887325). It has also been identified in 1/113716 European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) and reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 550722). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 337, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the ERCC6 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive Cockayne syndrome. An animal model in ERCC6 has shown that a similar variant causes some features of Cockayne Syndrome including photosensitivity, but only mild deficits in growth and neurologic function (van Der Horst 1997 PMID: 9150142). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Cockayne syndrome. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_Suporting, PM3, PS3_Moderate.
