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]

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 2 of the BLM gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs750293380, gnomAD 0.007%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Bloom syndrome and it has also been observed in the heterozygous state in individuals affected with uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma, colorectal cancer, male breast cancer (PMID: 17407155, 26358404, 26689913, 30613976). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371055). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in exon 2 skipping and activation of a cryptic splice site, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.98+1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 1 of the BLM gene. This alteration has been reported in the heterozygous state in an individual with a personal history of early-onset colorectal cancer and a strong family history of colorectal cancer, as well as an individual with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (de Voer RM et al. Sci Rep, 2015 Sep;5:14060; Antonarakis ES et al. Eur. Urol., 2018 08;74:218-225). Another alteration at this position (c.98+1G>T) has been reported in a compound heterozygous state in an individual diagnosed with Bloom syndrome (German J et al. Hum. Mutat. 2007 Aug;28(8):743-53). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
