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]

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoNov 29, 2022DNA sequence analysis of the RECQL4 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.2543G>A, in exon 15 that results in an amino acid change, p.Arg848His. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in individuals with RECQL4-related disorders. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.15% in the African American subpopulation (dbSNP rs368989729). The p.Arg848His change affects a poorly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the RECQL4 protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD) provide contradictory results for the p.Arg848His substitution. Due to insufficient evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Arg848His change remains unknown at this time. -

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJul 01, 2024The RECQL4 c.2543G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg848His. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.15% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. It has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from uncertain significance to likely benign; however, the majority of ClinVar submitters favor uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/459412/). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
