Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM4

The NM_004260.4(RECQL4):​c.2563_2574dupTGCACCTGCACC​(p.Thr858_Arg859insCysThrCysThr) variant causes a conservative inframe insertion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000281 in 1,422,152 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T858T) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant, c.2563_2574dup, results in the insertion of 4 amino acid(s) of the RECQL4 protein (p.Cys855_Thr858dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RECQL4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 846095). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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.
