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]

The study of the W851R mutation in the ERCC6 gene is central to understanding the complex pathophysiological processes associated with Cockayne Syndrome (CS). While this variant has been noted in earlier research, its specific impact on the structural integrity of the ERCC6 protein and subsequent changes in its ATPase activity have not been thoroughly examined until now. Our research represents the initial effort to fully analyze the severe consequences of this missense mutation, which appears deceptively benign. Previous studies (Mallery 1998, Laugel 2010, Batenburg 2015) have highlighted the profound negative effects of the W851R mutation on ERCC6 functionality. It has been demonstrated that this mutation results in an ERCC6 protein that lacks DNA-dependent ATPase activity, leading to a disruption in chromatin remodeling and hindering essential repair processes. These findings align with our molecular dynamic simulations, which indicate compromised ATPase and DNA binding functions of the protein. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 522698). This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 851 of the ERCC6 protein (p.Trp851Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Cockayne syndrome (PMID: 9443879, 29572252, 32557569). This variant is also known as T2630A. 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 ERCC6 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ERCC6 function (PMID: 9443879). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
