Variant summary
Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -21 ACMG points: 0P and 21B. BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBP7BA1
The NM_004628.5(XPC):c.300G>A(p.Arg100Arg) variant causes a splice region, synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00414 in 1,608,880 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 270 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign (★★).

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 benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

Variant summary: XPC c.300G>A (p.Arg100Arg) alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0074 in 277384 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.079 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 81 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 56 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in XPC causing Xeroderma pigmentosum phenotype (0.0014), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. One ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
