Genes affected
XPA (HGNC:12814): (XPA, DNA damage recognition and repair factor) This gene encodes a zinc finger protein plays a central role in nucleotide excision repair (NER), a specialized type of DNA repair. NER is responsible for repair of UV radiation-induced photoproducts and DNA adducts induced by chemical carcinogens and chemotherapeutic drugs. The encoded protein interacts with DNA and several NER proteins, acting as a scaffold to assemble the NER incision complex at sites of DNA damage. Mutations in this gene cause Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XP-A), an autosomal recessive skin disorder featuring hypersensitivity to sunlight and increased risk for skin cancer.

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 244 of the XPA protein (p.His244Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs144725456, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with xeroderma pigmentosum (PMID: 1372103, 34234304). 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: 364088). 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 XPA protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects XPA function (PMID: 9753735). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Xeroderma pigmentosum Pathogenic:1

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: XPA c.731A>G (p.His244Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00013 in 251262 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in XPA causing Xeroderma Pigmentosum (0.00013 vs 0.00034), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.731A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Xeroderma Pigmentosum or related disorder (Satokata_1992, Benkirane_2021, den Heuvel_2023). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects XPA function (den Heuvel_2023), Satokata_1992, Kobayashi_1998). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34234304, 9753735, 1372103, 35197637, 36893274). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 364088). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
