Genes affected
ERCC4 (HGNC:3436): (ERCC excision repair 4, endonuclease catalytic subunit) The protein encoded by this gene forms a complex with ERCC1 and is involved in the 5' incision made during nucleotide excision repair. This complex is a structure specific DNA repair endonuclease that interacts with EME1. Defects in this gene are a cause of xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group F (XP-F), or xeroderma pigmentosum VI (XP6).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

BP4 ERCC4:c.974-6T>C is an intronic variant located close to a canonical splice site. This variant is found in 335/268132 alleles at a frequency of 0.124% in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database, non-cancer dataset. The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing (BP4). To our knowledge, neither relevant clinical data nor well-established functional studies have been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database (1x benign, 6x likely benign) and in LOVD (1x likely benign). Based on currently available information, the variant c.974-6T>C should be considered an uncertain significance variant.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease.
