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 glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 891 of the BLM protein (p.Gly891Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Bloom syndrome (PMID: 17407155). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 524780). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BLM protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BLM function (PMID: 17878217). 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. -

The p.G891E variant (also known as c.2672G>A), located in coding exon 13 of the BLM gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2672. The glycine at codon 891 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was observed in a compound heterozygous individual affected with Bloom Syndrome (German J et al. Hum. Mutat., 2007 Aug;28:743-53). Structural modeling of the p.G891E variant on the BLM helicase domain predicts that this variant will abolish both ATPase and DNA unwinding activities of BLM protein (Rong SB et al. Mol. Med., 2000 Mar;6:155-64). An in-depth in vitro analysis for BLM function in this variant showed a strong reduction in helicase, ATPase, and DNA binding activities, but no deficiency in ATP binding (Guo RB et al. Nucleic Acids Res., 2007 Sep;35:6297-310). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
