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 affects codon 568 of the RECQL4 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the RECQL4 protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 10, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Rothmund–Thomson syndrome (PMID: 12734318). This variant is also known as g.3427G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239703). 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. -
