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]

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2237C>T (p.A746V) alteration is located in exon 14 (coding exon 14) of the RECQL4 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2237, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 746 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Reported in an individual with sagittal synostosis, but further clinical information, information on the zygosity or presence of a second RECQL4 variant, and familial segregation information were not included (Sewda et al., 2019); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31555317, 30651579) -

Rothmund-Thomson syndrome type 2 Uncertain:1
Apr 18, 2023
St. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The RECQL4 c.2237C>T (p.Ala746Val) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.082% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). In silico tools are inconclusive about a benign or pathogenic effect of this variant on protein function, and to our knowledge functional studies have not been performed. This variant was reported in an individual with nonsyndromic saggital craniosynostosis, however the zygosity or identification of a second variant was not indicated (PMID: 30651579). In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Baller-Gerold syndrome Uncertain:1
Jan 30, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 746 of the RECQL4 protein (p.Ala746Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs201883228, gnomAD 0.08%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with sagittal craniosynostosis (PMID: 30651579). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239719). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt RECQL4 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -

RECQL4-related disorder Uncertain:1

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The RECQL4 c.2237C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala746Val. This variant was reported in an individual with nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis; however, the zygosity or presence of a second variant was not specified (Sewda et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30651579). This variant is reported in 0.082% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and in ClinVar this variant has been interpreted as uncertain (https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/239719/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
