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]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2060C>T (p.S687L) alteration is located in exon 10 (coding exon 9) of the ERCC6 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2060, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 687 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.003% (1/31324) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.007% (1/15394) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other ERCC6 variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with Cockayne syndrome; in at least one instance, the variants were identified in trans (Laugel, 2010; Calmels, 2016). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 687 of the ERCC6 protein (p.Ser687Leu). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Cockayne syndrome (PMID: 19894250, 27004399, 29572252). 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: 552600). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
