RCV004818867 | SCV005438787 | likely pathogenic | Xeroderma pigmentosum, group G | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The observed frameshift c.136del p.His46MetfsTer5 variant in ERCC5 gene has not been previously reported as pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The p.His46MetfsTer5 variant is present with allele frequency of 0.0004% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has not been submitted to the ClinVar database. This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Histidine 46, changes this amino acid to Methionine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 5 of the new reading frame, denoted p.His46MetfsTer5. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants in ERCC5 have been previously reported to be disease causing Wang et al., 2015. Additional functional studies will be required to prove the pathogencity of this variant. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. |
