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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1318Glyfs*12) in the ERCC6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ERCC6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18628313, 29572252). This variant is present in population databases (rs765825423, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Cockayne syndrome type B (PMID: 29572252). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190171). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: ERCC6 c.3952_3953delAG (p.Arg1318GlyfsX12) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic in ClinVar database. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251212 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3952_3953delAG has been reported in the literature in two individuals affected with Cockayne Syndrome (Calmels_2018), one individual with clinical diagnosis and family history of hearing loss, loss of ambulation, hypotonia, cerebellar ataxia and sensory neuropathy (Monies_2019), one individual affected with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Qin_2020) and one individual affected with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (Hung_2020). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic (n=2) and likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
