Genes affected

ERCC8 (HGNC:3439): (ERCC excision repair 8, CSA ubiquitin ligase complex subunit) This gene encodes a WD repeat protein, which interacts with Cockayne syndrome type B (CSB) protein and with p44 protein, a subunit of the RNA polymerase II transcription factor IIH. Mutations in this gene have been identified in patients with hereditary disease Cockayne syndrome (CS). CS cells are abnormally sensitive to ultraviolet radiation and are defective in the repair of transcriptionally active genes. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.06801008 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.1, offset of -26, new splice context is: tatcagctcttgatccacAGtat. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-60887522-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-60887522-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 551594.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 10 of the ERCC8 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ERCC8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 29572252). This variant is present in population databases (rs372237310, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ERCC8-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551594). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
