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]

This variant, c.2412_2420del, results in the deletion of 3 amino acid(s) of the RECQL4 protein (p.Ala805_Arg807del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs766312203, gnomAD 0.06%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (PMID: 29642415, 31604778; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239724). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
