Excision repair cross-complementation group 3 (ERCC3) is a gene that encodes a protein that is involved in nucleotide excision repair. Missense mutations, silent mutations, nonsense mutations, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as colon cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

ERCC3 is altered in 1.19% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell lung carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

ERCC3 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in ERCC3 are ERCC3 Mutation (1.03%), ERCC3 Nonsense (0.07%), ERCC3 Loss (0.05%), ERCC3 Amplification (0.04%), and ERCC3 V129I (0.02%) [3].
