Genes affected

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]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.L59F variant (also known as c.175C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the RECQL4 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 175. The leucine at codon 59 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 59 of the RECQL4 protein (p.Leu59Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs752508496, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RECQL4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239706). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

RECQL4-related disorder

Uncertain:1

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The RECQL4 c.175C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu59Phe. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.025% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD and has been interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/239706/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
