Genes affected

ERCC6 (HGNC:3438): (ERCC excision repair 6, chromatin remodeling factor) This gene encodes a DNA-binding protein that is important in transcription-coupled excision repair. The encoded protein has ATP-stimulated ATPase activity, interacts with several transcription and excision repair proteins, and may promote complex formation at DNA repair sites. Mutations in this gene are associated with Cockayne syndrome type B and cerebrooculofacioskeletal syndrome 1. Alternative splicing occurs between a splice site from exon 5 of this gene to the 3' splice site upstream of the open reading frame (ORF) of the adjacent gene, piggyback-derived-3 (GeneID:267004), which activates the alternative polyadenylation site downstream of the piggyback-derived-3 ORF. The resulting transcripts encode a fusion protein that shares sequence with the product of each individual gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

Variant summary: ERCC6 c.2038A>G (p.Asn680Asp) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Helicase superfamily 1/2, ATP-binding domain (IPR014001) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251396 control chromosomes. c.2038A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cockayne Syndrome (Laugel_2010, Calmels_2018). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The DNA translocase activity of the orthologous variant in yeast was approximately 10%-<30% of the normal protein, measured by an in vitro yeast chromatin remodeling assay (Yan_2021). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29572252, 19894250, 34853308). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550065). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
