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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1021 of the RECQL4 protein (p.Arg1021Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs137853232, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Baller-Gerold syndrome and Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (PMID: 15897384, 15964893, 23899764, 24635570). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6073). 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 RECQL4 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The RECQL4 c.3061C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg1021Trp. This variant has been reported as causative for Rothmund-Thomson/RAPADILINO syndrome (Kellermayer et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15897384; Van Maldergem et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15964893). This variant is reported in 0.015% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.
