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]

Submissions by phenotype

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 21, 2021The c.1568G>C (p.S523T) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 9) of the RECQL4 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1568, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 523 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Baller-Gerold syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 25, 2024This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 523 of the RECQL4 protein (p.Ser523Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs754735053, gnomAD 0.05%). This missense change has been observed in cis with c.1573del (p.Cys525Alafs*33) in individual(s) with RAPADILINO, Baller-Gerold syndrome, and Rothmund–Thomson syndrome (PMID: 12838562, 15964893, 27247962, 29367366, 29642415). This variant has not been reported in isolation in the literature in individuals affected with RECQL4-related conditions. This variant is also known as g.2881G>C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 259258). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt RECQL4 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
