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 ERCC6 p.Gln1041Pro variant was identified in the literature in 1 of 28 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.036) from individuals with a positive history of cancer (proband had colon cancer) (Castellanos_2017_PMID:28051113). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs139007661), LOVD 3.0 and ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae, likely benign by Illumina and uncertain significance by Claritas Genomics, Genetics Services Laboratory University of Chicago, Fulgent Genetics, EGL Genetic Diagnostics and GeneDx). The variant was identified in control databases in 492 of 282474 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.001742 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: Latino in 102 of 35408 chromosomes (freq: 0.002881), Other in 20 of 7200 chromosomes (freq: 0.002778), European (non-Finnish) in 317 of 128972 chromosomes (freq: 0.002458), Ashkenazi Jewish in 22 of 10362 chromosomes (freq: 0.002123), European (Finnish) in 15 of 25090 chromosomes (freq: 0.000598), African in 13 of 24904 chromosomes (freq: 0.000522), South Asian in 3 of 30588 chromosomes (freq: 0.000098), but was not observed in the East Asian population. The p.Gln1041 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Variant summary: ERCC6 c.3122A>C (p.Gln1041Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0018 in 251060 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. The observed variant frequency is approximately 1.12 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in ERCC6 causing Cockayne Syndrome phenotype (0.0016), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. Although reported in the literature, to our knowledge, no occurrence of c.3122A>C in individuals affected with Cockayne Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (benign/likely benign, n=3; VUS, n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
