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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr1179Leufs*22) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Cockayne syndrome (PMID: 9443879, 19894250, 21228398, 29572252). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190167). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: ERCC6 c.3536delA (p.Tyr1179LeufsX22) 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 by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 250950 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3536delA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cockayne Syndrome (examples: Calmels_2018 and Mallery_1998). These data indicate that the variant is associated with disease. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
