Genes affected

XPC (HGNC:12816): (XPC complex subunit, DNA damage recognition and repair factor) The protein encoded by this gene is a key component of the XPC complex, which plays an important role in the early steps of global genome nucleotide excision repair (NER). The encoded protein is important for damage sensing and DNA binding, and shows a preference for single-stranded DNA. Mutations in this gene or some other NER components can result in Xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased sensitivity to sunlight with the development of carcinomas at an early age. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-14168369-GCTCA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-14168369-GCTCA-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 550638.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr3-14168369-GCTCA-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Sep 05, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550638). This variant is also known as 4 del TGAG 525–8. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with xeroderma pigmentosum (PMID: 16081512, 27387384). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu141Leufs*6) in the XPC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in XPC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23173980, 25256075). -

Variant summary: XPC c.420_423delTGAG (p.Glu141LeufsX6) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (c.463C>T, p.Arg155X; c.566_567delAT, p.Tyr189fsX10; c.1103_1104delAA, p.Gln368fsX6). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 249086 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.420_423delTGAG, has been reported in the literature in individuals in (homozygous and compound heterozygous state) affected with Xeroderma pigmentosum (Khan_2006, Schubert_2016). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication, Schubert_2016, analyzed post-UV cell survival and qRT-PCR for this variant and reports variant effect results in 10%-<30% of normal activity. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
