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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -20 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.85).
BP6
Variant 8-144514533-T-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr8-144514533-T-C is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 239701.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000758 (1105/1457834) while in subpopulation MID AF = 0.00678 (39/5756). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00592. There are 8 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 720 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 36. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 3 AR gene
