Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP4
The NM_004260.4(RECQL4):c.1684C>T(p.Arg562Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000311 in 1,612,200 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R562Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
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]

The c.1684C>T (p.R562W) alteration is located in exon 10 (coding exon 10) of the RECQL4 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1684, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 562 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
