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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys525Alafs*33) in the RECQL4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RECQL4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12734318, 12952869). This variant is present in population databases (rs386833845, gnomAD 0.04%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with RAPADILINO, Baller-Gerold syndrome, and Rothmund‚Äö√Ñ√¨Thomson syndrome (PMID: 10678659, 12838562, 15897384, 15964893, 18716613, 20113479, 29367366, 31829210). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as g.2886delT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6066). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1573delT (p.C525Afs*33) alteration, located in exon 9 (coding exon 9) of the RECQL4 gene, consists of a deletion of one nucleotide at position 1573, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 33 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in individuals with RECQL4-related disorders with and without malignancies (Van Maldergem, 2006; Siitonen, 2009). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Variant summary: RECQL4 c.1573delT (p.Cys525AlafsX33) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by other laboratories (ClinVar). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00024 in 245124 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1573delT has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with RECQL4-Related Disorders (e.g. Siitonen_2009). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
