Whole Exome Sequencing Identifies a Novel Homozygous Missense Mutation in the CSB Protein-Encoding <i>ERCC6</i> Gene in a Taiwanese Boy with Cockayne Syndrome

Background: Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare form of dwarfism that is characterized by progressive premature aging. CS is typically caused by mutations in the excision repair cross-complementing protein group 6 (<i>ERCC6</i>) gene that encodes the CS group B (CSB) protein. Using whole ex...

Methods: We used iterative threading assembly refinement (I-TASSER) to generate a predictive 3D structure of CSB. We calculated the change of mutation energy after residues substitution on the protein stability using I-TASSER as well as the artificial intelligence program Alphafold. Results: The Asp532Gly variant destabilized both modeled structures, while the Leu536Trp variant showed no effect on I-TASSER’s model but destabilized the Alphafold’s modeled structure.
