Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate

The NM_000057.4(BLM):c.2619G>C(p.Lys873Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000103 in 1,613,810 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. K873M) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 873 of the BLM protein (p.Lys873Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs146723808, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BLM-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405297). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BLM protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BLM function (PMID: 23129629). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Published functional studies demonstrate DNA damage response comparable to wild type (Mirzaei et al., 2012); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23129629) -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The BLM c.2619G>C (p.Lys873Asn) variant has not been reported in individuals with BLM-related conditions in the published literature. Published functional studies show that this variant has been reported to have no significant effect on hypersensitivity to a DNA damaging agent (PMID: 23129629 (2012)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0001 (13/129076 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Jan 17, 2020

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
