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 sequence change replaces isoleucine with methionine at codon 221 of the RECQL4 protein (p.Ile221Met). The isoleucine residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between isoleucine and methionine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with RECQL4-related conditions. 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. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. -
