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:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 12, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42088). This variant is also known as c.3727_3728dupA. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Bloom syndrome (PMID: 17407155). This variant is present in population databases (rs367543021, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr1243Asnfs*14) 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). -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 11, 2023The c.3727dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 18 of the BLM gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 3727, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T1243Nfs*14). This variant has been identified in the homozygous state in an individual diagnosed with Bloom syndrome (German J et al. Hum Mutat, 2007 Aug;28:743-53). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this 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. -
