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, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Natera, Inc.	Sep 04, 2020	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 13, 2022	This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 355 of the BLM protein (p.Pro355Arg). 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: 454061). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The arginine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -

DNA sequence analysis of the BLM gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.1064C>G, in exon 5 that results in an amino acid change, p.Pro355Arg. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with BLM-related disorders and has also not been described in the population databases (ExAC and gnomAD). The p.Pro355Arg change affects a poorly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the BLM protein that is not known to be functional. The p.Pro355Arg substitution appears to be benign using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Pro355Arg change remains unknown at this time. -

The p.P355R variant (also known as c.1064C>G), located in coding exon 4 of the BLM gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1064. The proline at codon 355 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
