Genes affected
ERCC2 (HGNC:3434): (ERCC excision repair 2, TFIIH core complex helicase subunit) The nucleotide excision repair pathway is a mechanism to repair damage to DNA. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair and is an integral member of the basal transcription factor BTF2/TFIIH complex. The gene product has ATP-dependent DNA helicase activity and belongs to the RAD3/XPD subfamily of helicases. Defects in this gene can result in three different disorders, the cancer-prone syndrome xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D, trichothiodystrophy, and Cockayne syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 725 of the ERCC2 protein (p.Ala725Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs121913018, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with trichothiodystrophy or clinical features of both xeroderma pigmentosum and trichothiodystrophy (PMID: 9195225, 23232694, 25002996). 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: 16781). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ERCC2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Ala725 amino acid residue in ERCC2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with ERCC2-related conditions (PMID: 9195225, 23232694, 26577220), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Patient fibroblasts harboring A725P in trans with the L461V;A717G complex allele showed reduced nucleotide excision repair and reduced survival upon UV radiation exposure (Takayama et al., 1997); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 12488584, 26945533, 11335038, 25002996, 9195225, 11182546, 22234153, 10447254, 23232694, 33726816)

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

Variant summary: ERCC2 c.2173G>C (p.Ala725Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence, altering a highly conserved residue (HGMD). Other missense variants has been found in association with trichothiodystrophy (p.A725T, p.A725V), one of which has been classified as likely pathogenic by a ClinVar submitter. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 250876 control chromosomes. c.2173G>C has been reported in the literature in several compound heterozygous individuals affected with Xeroderma Pigmentosum and trichothiodystrophy (Krauland_2013, Svendsen_2014, Takayama_1997, Zhou_2013). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and both classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

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

The c.2173G>C (p.A725P) alteration is located in exon 22 (coding exon 22) of the ERCC2 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 2173, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 725 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on data from gnomAD, the C allele has an overall frequency of 0.002% (5/250876) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.004% (5/113354) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been reported in trans with a ECCR2 likely pathogenic/pathogenic variant in multiple individuals with clinical features of ERCC2-related spectrum disorders (Takayama, 1997; Zhou, 2013; External communication). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on internal structural analysis, A725P is moderately destabilizing to the local structure (5.75 kcal/mol). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
