Genes affected
ERCC5 (HGNC:3437): (ERCC excision repair 5, endonuclease) This gene encodes a single-strand specific DNA endonuclease that makes the 3' incision in DNA excision repair following UV-induced damage. The protein may also function in other cellular processes, including RNA polymerase II transcription, and transcription-coupled DNA repair. Mutations in this gene cause xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group G (XP-G), which is also referred to as xeroderma pigmentosum VII (XP7), a skin disorder characterized by hypersensitivity to UV light and increased susceptibility for skin cancer development following UV exposure. Some patients also develop Cockayne syndrome, which is characterized by severe growth defects, cognitive disability, and cachexia. Read-through transcription exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream BIVM (basic, immunoglobulin-like variable motif containing) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
BIVM-ERCC5 (HGNC:43690): (BIVM-ERCC5 readthrough) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring BIVM (basic, immunoglobulin-like variable motif containing) and ERCC5 (excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency, complementation group 5) genes on chromosome 13. The read-through transcript encodes a fusion protein that shares sequence identity with the products of each individual gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The ERCC5 c.2878G>T (p.Glu960X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent ERCC5 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. This variant was found in 1/120768 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000083, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic ERCC5 variant (0.0007071). A publication cites the variant in an affected compound heterozygote individual. A functional study, Nouspikel_1994, indicates that the variant is extremely UV sensitive at higher does. In addition, a reputable database classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu960*) in the ERCC5 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ERCC5 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23370536, 24700531, 30919937). This variant is present in population databases (rs121434570, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Xeroderma pigmentosum (PMID: 7951246). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16566). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
