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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The BLM c.2720C>T (p.Thr907Met) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.033% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with Bloom syndrome. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 907 of the BLM protein (p.Thr907Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs367953471, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BLM-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127492). 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 not expected to disrupt BLM protein function with a negative 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. -

The BLM c.2720C>T (p.Thr907Met) variant has not been reported in the published literature in individuals with BLM-related conditions, but it has been seen in an individual with rhabdomyosarcoma (PMID: 33332384 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00013 (17/129168 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the BLM gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.2720C>T, in exon 14 that results in an amino acid change, p.Thr907Met. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with BLM-related disorders and has been described in the gnomAD database with a low population frequency of 0.011% (dbSNP rs367953471). The p.Thr907Met change affects a poorly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the BLM protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Thr907Met substitution. Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Thr907Met change remains unknown at this time. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

The BLM c.2720C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr907Met. This variant has been reported with uncertain significance in the heterozygous state in an individual with rhabdomyosarcoma (S1 Data, Byrjalsen A et al. 2020 PubMed ID: 33332384). This variant is reported in 0.033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.T907M variant (also known as c.2720C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the BLM gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2720. The threonine at codon 907 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was identified in a patient diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma (Byrjalsen A et al. PLoS Genet, 2020 Dec;16:e1009231). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
