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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1015 of the BLM protein (p.Thr1015Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs202196488, gnomAD 0.02%). 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: 127494). 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%. 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. -

The BLM c.3044C>T (p.Thr1015Ile) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.025% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/15-91337421-C-T ). Five of seven in silico tools predict a benign effect of this variant on protein function (BP4), but these predictions have not been confirmed by functional studies. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with Bloom syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: BP4. -

The BLM c.3044C>T (p.Thr1015Ile) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with pediatric cancer (PMIDs: 31970404 (2020), 25186949 (2014)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00038 (10/26100 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. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.T1015I variant (also known as c.3044C>T), located in coding exon 15 of the BLM gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3044. The threonine at codon 1015 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: BLM c.3044C>T (p.Thr1015Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Superfamilies 1 and 2 helicase C-terminal domain (IPR001650) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00012 in 248866 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00024 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BLM causing Bloom Syndrome (0.00012 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BLM causing Bloom Syndrome (0.00012 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.3044C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with pediatric cancers (e.g. Muskens_2020, Crompton_2014), which is a known component of Bloom Syndrome. These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Bloom Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25186949, 31970404). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127494). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
