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]

Submissions by phenotype

Baller-Gerold syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 10, 2024This sequence change falls in intron 18 of the RECQL4 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the RECQL4 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs575764344, gnomAD 0.04%). 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: 239760). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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. -
RECQL4-related disorder Benign:1
Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 27, 2023This variant is classified as likely benign based on ACMG/AMP sequence variant interpretation guidelines (Richards et al. 2015 PMID: 25741868, with internal and published modifications). -
