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 Pathogenic:4

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Sep 23, 2022	ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42178). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Bloom syndrome (PMID: 17407155). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (rs772909011, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr830Asnfs*5) 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.2488dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 11 of the BLM gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 2488, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T830Nfs*5). This alteration was reported in an individual with a second protein truncating BLM alteration and a clinical diagnosis of Bloom syndrome (German J et al. Hum. Mutat., 2007 Aug;28:743-53). In addition to the information presented in the literature, since alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
