Is ERCC3 p.Thr137= (c.411C>G) pathogenic?

ERCC3 p.Thr137= (c.411C>G) is classified Likely benign in ERCC3 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-02-13). Very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr); Associated with xeroderma pigmentosum.

What condition is associated with ERCC3 p.Thr137= (c.411C>G)?

ERCC3 p.Thr137= (c.411C>G) is associated with xeroderma pigmentosum (ClinVar).

How common is ERCC3 p.Thr137= (c.411C>G) in the general population?

ERCC3 p.Thr137= (c.411C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Xeroderma pigmentosum inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
