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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 270 of the BLM protein (p.Glu270Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs762053925, gnomAD 0.03%). 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: 454165). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging". The lysine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: BLM c.808G>A (p.Glu270Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6e-05 in 251074 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BLM causing Bloom Syndrome (6e-05 vs 0.0035), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.808G>A in individuals affected with Bloom Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 454165). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

BLM-related disorder Uncertain:1
Jun 02, 2023
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The BLM c.808G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu270Lys. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.029% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/15-91295025-G-A). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The BLM c.808G>A (p.Glu270Lys) variant has not been reported in individuals with BLM-related conditions in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00029 (9/30610 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:1
Feb 01, 2022
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
