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]

RECQL4 NM_004260.3 exon 17 Val985Met (c.2953G>A): This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in 0.1% (19/15286) of Latino alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/8-144512494-C-T?dataset=gnomad_r3). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:194743). This variant amino acid Methionine (Met) is present in 6 mammals and is not well conserved among evolutionarily distant species; this suggests that this variant may not impact the protein. Additional computational prediction tools do not suggest an impact. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -
