Genes affected

XPA (HGNC:12814): (XPA, DNA damage recognition and repair factor) This gene encodes a zinc finger protein plays a central role in nucleotide excision repair (NER), a specialized type of DNA repair. NER is responsible for repair of UV radiation-induced photoproducts and DNA adducts induced by chemical carcinogens and chemotherapeutic drugs. The encoded protein interacts with DNA and several NER proteins, acting as a scaffold to assemble the NER incision complex at sites of DNA damage. Mutations in this gene cause Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XP-A), an autosomal recessive skin disorder featuring hypersensitivity to sunlight and increased risk for skin cancer.

The c.778A>G (p.T260A) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 6) of the XPA gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 778, causing the threonine (T) at amino acid position 260 to be replaced by an alanine (A). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
