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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Aug 31, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405291). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BLM-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn782Argfs*34) in the BLM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BLM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17407155). -

The c.2343_2344dupGA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BLM gene, results from a duplication of GA at nucleotide position 2343, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N782Rfs*34). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
