not provided    Pathogenic:1 
This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 4 of the ERCC8 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ERCC8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 29572252). This variant is present in population databases (rs774047625, gnomAD 0.003%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Cockayne syndrome (PMID: 16865293). This variant is also known as IVS4+1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550005). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Cockayne syndrome    Pathogenic:1 
Variant summary: ERCC8 c.399+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing and loss of ERCC8 function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250032 control chromosomes. c.399+1G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cockayne Syndrome (Bertola_2006). These data indicate that the variant may 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: 16865293). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550005). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
