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]

Alters the last nucleotide of the exon and is predicted to destroy the splice donor site and result in aberrant splicing, although in the absence of functional evidence the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30086788, 35725860, 35171259) -

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

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 919 of the RECQL4 protein (p.Ala919Thr). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 15, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs186739072, gnomAD 0.1%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 30086788). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 459430). 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. -
