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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln100Glufs*42) in the BLM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BLM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17407155). This variant is present in population databases (rs745807085, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PMID: 26546047). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371569). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.298_299delCA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 2 of the BLM gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 298 to 299, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.Q100Efs*42). This alteration was detected by whole exome sequencing in a pancreatic cancer patient and segregated in 2 out of 3 pancreatic cancer affected family members and/or obligate carriers; a predicted pathogenic alteration was also detected in the SPP1 gene in the proband (Smith AL et al. Cancer Lett. 2016 Jan 28;370(2):302-12). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
