NM_000380.4:c.323G>A
Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5
The NM_000380.4(XPA):c.323G>A(p.Cys108Tyr) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000186 in 1,612,820 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C108F) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Variant summary: XPA c.323G>A (p.Cys108Tyr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250364 control chromosomes. c.323G>A has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Xeroderma Pigmentosum and in an affected sibling in the homozygous state (Saleh_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34374989). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 430367). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
The C108Y variant in the XPA gene has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The C108Y variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The C108Y variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. A missense pathogenic variants in the same residue (C108F) has been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with xeroderma pigmentosum (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. The C108Y variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant, however the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded -
