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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PP5: Variant 15-90751943-TTAGGTAAAC-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-90751943-TTAGGTAAAC-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 556630.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Bloom syndrome Pathogenic:3

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Apr 15, 2022	In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 556630). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BLM-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs765061205, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change affects a splice site in intron 4 of the BLM gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in BLM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17407155). -
