Is ERCC6 p.Trp640Ter (c.1919G>A) pathogenic?

ERCC6 p.Trp640Ter (c.1919G>A) is classified Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic in ERCC6 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-11-10). Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with Cockayne syndrome type 2.

What condition is associated with ERCC6 p.Trp640Ter (c.1919G>A)?

ERCC6 p.Trp640Ter (c.1919G>A) is associated with Cockayne syndrome type 2 (ClinVar).

How common is ERCC6 p.Trp640Ter (c.1919G>A) in the general population?

ERCC6 p.Trp640Ter (c.1919G>A) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

Computational evidence

Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation carries the signal.
Consequence	nonsense (stop-gain)	predicted loss-of-function
NMD	predicted	premature termination codon in exon 9 of 21
Splicing
SpliceAI	—	not assessed · no allele here is in the release
Pangolin	Δ0.24	gain · loss 0.00 · not in the SpliceAI release · independent
Constraint at this position
Conservation	phyloP 7.6	GERP 1.6, phastCons 1
Overall
CADD	43.0	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

Predicted loss-of-function is descriptive, not an applied PVS1 code.
