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]

Bloom syndrome Pathogenic:5
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingBaylor GeneticsAug 04, 2023- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 17, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr494Profs*9) 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 (rs746244182, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BLM-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371108). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingDASAMar 05, 2022The c.1479_1480del;p.(Thr494Profs*9) is a null frameshift variant (NMD) in the BLM gene and predicts alteration of the nonsense-mediate decay - NMD is present in a relevant exon to the transcript - PVS1. This sequence change has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ClinVar ID: 371108). PS4_moderate. The variant is present at low allele frequencies population databases (rs746244182 – gnomAD 0.00007991%; ABraOM no frequency - http://abraom.ib.usp.br.) - PM2_supporting. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 07, 2022The c.1479_1480delTA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 6 of the BLM gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1479 to 1480, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T494Pfs*9). 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. -
