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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The RECQL4 c.2144G>A (p.Arg715Gln) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.018% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). In silico tools predict a deleterious effect of this variant on protein function, but to our knowledge functional studies have not been performed. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with RECQL4-associated conditions. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2144G>A (p.R715Q) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 13) of the RECQL4 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2144, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 715 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 715 of the RECQL4 protein (p.Arg715Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs184775551, gnomAD 0.01%). 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: 406912). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt RECQL4 protein function with a positive 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. -
