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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 17, 2022Variant summary: BLM c.1928G>A (p.Arg643His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Bloom syndrome protein, BDHCT-box associated domain (IPR032439) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0032 in 281568 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0046 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.3 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in BLM causing Bloom Syndrome phenotype (0.0035), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. The variant, c.1928G>A, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer (Thompson_2012, Moradian_2021) and as a somatic events in glioblastoma and Mullerian adenosarcoma (Burzynski_2015, Howitt_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Cancer and/or Bloom Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Nine submitters classified the variant as LB/B while one classified as VUS. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
