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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Nov 01, 2022	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 791 of the BLM protein (p.Arg791Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs55880859, gnomAD 0.1%). 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: 133698). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BLM protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BLM function (PMID: 23129629, 24816114, 26788541). 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. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Feb 15, 2023	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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Feb 23, 2018	Variant summary: BLM c.2371C>T (p.Arg791Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Helicase superfamily 1/2, ATP-binding domain and DEAD/DEAH box helicase domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00012 in 277226 control chromosomes. This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BLM causing Bloom Syndrome (0.00012 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The c.2371C>T variant has been reported in the literature in a cancer cell line from a Bloom Syndrome patient. This report does not provide strong evidence about an association of the variant with Bloom Syndrome. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. In one study (Shastri_2015), the variant showed no significant sensitivity to hydroxyurea. However, it showed delayed accumulation and elimination of phosphorylated H2AX upon DNA damage. Moreover, the variant showed a significantly increased level of sister chromatid exchanges compared WT controls. Another study (Mirzaei_2012) described the variant as a partial loss of function via yeast growth assays, and suggested this was due to the variants proximity to an invariant residue (D795), thus causing only a partial loss of ATP hydrolysis activity. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
