Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM2 BP4_Strong BP7

The NM_004260.4(RECQL4):c.444C>G(p.Val148=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. V148V) has been classified as Likely benign.

• Frequency: Genomes: not found (cov: 34)
• Consequence: RECQL4 NM_004260.4 synonymous
• Clinical Significance: Not reported in ClinVar
• Conservation: PhyloP100: -1.93

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.91).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-1.93 with no splicing effect.
