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]

Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The RECQL4 p.Ala239Val variant was not identified in Cosmic but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs146709578), LOVD 3.0 and ClinVar (reported benign for Baller-Gerold syndrome by Invitae and as a VUS by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Divison of Genomic Diagnostics). The variant was identified in control databases in 293 of 273858 chromosomes (2 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.00107 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Other in 14 of 7024 chromosomes (freq: 0.001993), European (non-Finnish) in 241 of 125570 chromosomes (freq: 0.001919), Latino in 19 of 35140 chromosomes (freq: 0.000541), African in 10 of 23374 chromosomes (freq: 0.000428) and South Asian in 9 of 30398 chromosomes (freq: 0.000296); it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, and European (Finnish) populations. The p.Ala239 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. This variant was identified in a study analyzing the prevalence of germline variants in cancer-susceptibility genes in a healthy population and was reported with a frequency of 0.0044 (Bodian_2014_PMID: 24728327). In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
