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]

The p.R248H variant (also known as c.743G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the RECQL4 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 743. The arginine at codon 248 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. 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 not expected to disrupt RECQL4 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 582640). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RECQL4-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs759352592, gnomAD 0.03%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 248 of the RECQL4 protein (p.Arg248His). -
