Genes affected

BLM (HGNC:1058): (BLM RecQ like helicase) The Bloom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth deficiency, microcephaly and immunodeficiency among others. It is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the gene encoding DNA helicase RecQ protein on chromosome 15q26. This Bloom-associated helicase unwinds a variety of DNA substrates including Holliday junction, and is involved in several pathways contributing to the maintenance of genome stability. Identification of pathogenic Bloom variants is required for heterozygote testing in at-risk families. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

The c.-5G>A variant is located in the 5' untranslated region (5’ UTR) of the BLM gene. This variant results from a G to A substitution 5 bases upstream from the first translated codon. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
