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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg669Glyfs*40) in the ERCC2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ERCC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9238033, 11335038, 19085937, 19934020). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of xeroderma pigmentosum and Cockayne syndrome (PMID: 7825573). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 445466). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: ERCC2 c.2005delA (p.Arg669GlyfsX40) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251388 control chromosomes. c.2005delA (also referred to as a deletion of adenine at base 2083) has been reported in the literature in at least one individual belonging to Xeroderma Pigmentosum Complementation Group D with clinical features of Xeroderma Pigmentosum and Cockayne Syndrome (e.g. Broughton_1995). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 7825573). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 445466). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
