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 c.387_389delGAA variant in the BLM gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The c.387_389delGAA variant results in an in-frame, 3 base pair deletion and results in the loss of the glutamic acid residue at position 130 in the protein, denoted as p.Lys130del. In-frame deletions frequently impact the resultant protein as missense changes do. The c.387_389delGAA variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. However, the Exome Aggregation Consortium reports c.387_389delGAA was observed in 36/16508 (0.2%) alleles from individuals of South Asian ancestry, but no homozygous individuals were reported in this cohort. Therefore, we interpret c.387_389delGAA as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the BLM gene demonstrated a 3 base pair deletion in exon 3, c.387_389del. This in-frame deletion is predicted to result in the deletion of a lysine amino acid residue, p.Lys130del. This in-frame sequence change has been described in gnomAD with a low population frequency of 0.028% (rs587778105). This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with BLM-related disorders and has also not been described as a known benign sequence change in the BLM gene. The functional significance of this sequence change is not known at present and its contribution to this patient's disease phenotype cannot definitively be determined. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
