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]

RECQL4-related disorder Uncertain:1
Aug 09, 2023
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The RECQL4 c.2987T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Met996Thr. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.015% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/8-145737843-A-G) and is reported as a variant of uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/RCV000458405/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Baller-Gerold syndrome Uncertain:1
Nov 24, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 996 of the RECQL4 protein (p.Met996Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs771326102, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RECQL4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406974). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on RECQL4 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. -
