Genes affected
ERCC3 (HGNC:3435): (ERCC excision repair 3, TFIIH core complex helicase subunit) This gene encodes an ATP-dependent DNA helicase that functions in nucleotide excision repair. The encoded protein is a subunit of basal transcription factor 2 (TFIIH) and, therefore, also functions in class II transcription. Mutations in this gene are associated with Xeroderma pigmentosum B, Cockayne's syndrome, and trichothiodystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 01, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16585). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ERCC3-related conditions (PMID: 16947863, 26884178). This variant is present in population databases (rs121913047, gnomAD 0.002%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg425*) in the ERCC3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ERCC3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16947863). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxApr 11, 2023Reported in trans with a second ERCC3 variant in two sisters with features of xeroderma pigmentosa (Oh et al., 2006); Published functions studies demonstrate a damaging effect resulting in defective DNA repair activity (Oh et al., 2006); Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25525159, 20947453, 26884178, 28588253, 29376097, 27004399, 19199647, 16947863, 26689913, 29625052) -
Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 21, 2022The c.1273C>T (p.R425*) alteration, located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the ERCC3 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1273. This changes the amino acid from a arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 425. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of <0.01% (2/251402) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was <0.01% (2/113682) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This alteration has been reported along with a second ERCC3 alteration in patients with features of ERCC3-related spectrum disorders (Garcia-Moreno, 2018; Oh, 2006). Functional studies show that this alteration leads to greatly reduced activity compared to wild type (Oh, 2006). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
