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]

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

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -

Rothmund-Thomson syndrome type 2 Uncertain:1
Aug 03, 2024
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.1708C>T (p.Arg570Trp) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.13% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). In silico tools are inconclusive about the effect of this variant on protein function, but to our knowledge functional studies have not been performed. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with RECQL4-associated conditions. 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 06, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 570 of the RECQL4 protein (p.Arg570Trp). The arginine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and tryptophan. This variant is present in population databases (rs373178405, gnomAD 0.1%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RECQL4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 135130). 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 RECQL4 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. -
