Genes affected

BLM (HGNC:1058): (BLM RecQ like helicase) The Bloom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth deficiency, microcephaly and immunodeficiency among others. It is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the gene encoding DNA helicase RecQ protein on chromosome 15q26. This Bloom-associated helicase unwinds a variety of DNA substrates including Holliday junction, and is involved in several pathways contributing to the maintenance of genome stability. Identification of pathogenic Bloom variants is required for heterozygote testing in at-risk families. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 15-90798237-AT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-90798237-AT-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 454132.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe1087Leufs*11) in the BLM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BLM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17407155). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Bloom syndrome (PMID: 17407155). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 454132). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The BLM c.3261delT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Phe1087Leufs*11). This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in multiple individual with Bloom syndrome (German et al 2007. PubMed ID: 17407155). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Frameshift variants in BLM are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.3261delT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 16 of the BLM gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 3261, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.F1087Lfs*11). This alteration has been detected in both the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in individuals affected with Bloom syndrome (German J et al. Hum. Mutat., 2007 Aug;28:743-53). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
