Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.

The NM_000057.4(BLM):c.1132_1134delinsTAT(p.His378Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as Uncertain significancein ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H378R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

Bloom syndrome Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Feb 02, 2021	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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BLM-related disease. This variant is reported as two separate single-nucleotide changes in population databases (c.1132C>T, ExAC 0.01% and c.1134C>T, ExAC 0.01%). However, in the read data for the 2 individuals displayed in the ExAC browser, these two variants are in cis. This recapitulates the variant observed here (c.1132_1134delinsTAT) and indicates that this variant is very likely present in the population databases at 0.01%. This sequence change replaces histidine with tyrosine at codon 378 of the BLM protein (p.His378Tyr). The histidine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between histidine and tyrosine. -

The c.1132_1134delCACinsTAT variant (also known as p.H378Y), located in coding exon 5 of the BLM gene, results from an in-frame deletion of CAC and insertion of TAT at nucleotide positions 1132 to 1134. This results in the substitution of the histidine residue for a tyrosine residue at codon 378, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be neutral by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
