Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2

The NM_004260.4(RECQL4):c.3502G>A(p.Gly1168Arg) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000496 in 1,612,258 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G1168E) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

RECQL4 (HGNC:9949): (RecQ like helicase 4) The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA helicase that belongs to the RecQ helicase family. DNA helicases unwind double-stranded DNA into single-stranded DNAs and may modulate chromosome segregation. This gene is predominantly expressed in thymus and testis. Mutations in this gene are associated with Rothmund-Thomson, RAPADILINO and Baller-Gerold syndromes. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1168 of the RECQL4 protein (p.Gly1168Arg). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 20, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs781543298, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RECQL4-related conditions. This missense change has been observed to be homozygous, hemizygous or homoplasmic in an individual who did not have the expected clinical features for that genetic result (internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 459485). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
