Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000587956 SCV000695421 pathogenic Xeroderma pigmentosum 2017-08-21 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The ERCC5 c.2878G>T (p.Glu960X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent ERCC5 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. This variant was found in 1/120768 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000083, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic ERCC5 variant (0.0007071). A publication cites the variant in an affected compound heterozygote individual. A functional study, Nouspikel_1994, indicates that the variant is extremely UV sensitive at higher does. In addition, a reputable database classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.
Invitae RCV003556039 SCV004296521 pathogenic not provided 2023-11-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu960*) in the ERCC5 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ERCC5 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23370536, 24700531, 30919937). This variant is present in population databases (rs121434570, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Xeroderma pigmentosum (PMID: 7951246). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16566). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
