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]

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BLM-related disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs756031754, ExAC 0.001%). This sequence change affects codon 780 of the BLM mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the BLM protein. -

The c.2340G>A variant (also known as p.L780L), located in coding exon 10 of the BLM gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2340. This nucleotide substitution does not change the leucine at codon 780. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
