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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-144514026-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-144514026-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 528982.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 528982). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RECQL4-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln654*) in the RECQL4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RECQL4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12734318, 12952869). -
