Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 2P and 3B. PM2 BP4_Moderate BP6

The NM_000057.4(BLM):​c.248A>G​(p.Gln83Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000178 in 1,461,856 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q83Q) has been classified as Likely benign.

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 Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.098686814).
• BP6: Variant 15-90749516-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr15-90749516-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 524757.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=1, Uncertain_significance=2}.

The BLM c.248A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gln83Arg. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 83 of the BLM protein (p.Gln83Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BLM-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 524757). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
