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]

Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the BLM gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.887A>G, in exon 4 that results in an amino acid change, p.Tyr296Cys. This sequence change has been described in gnomAD with a frequency of 0.069% in the South Asian sub-population (dbSNP rs775005766). The p.Tyr296Cys change affects a poorly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the BLM protein that is not known to be functional. The p.Tyr296Cys substitution appears to be benign using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with BLM-related disorders. Due to the lack of sufficient evidences, the clinical significance of the p.Tyr296Cys change remains unknown at this time.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 296 of the BLM protein (p.Tyr296Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs775005766, gnomAD 0.07%). 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: 405307). 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 not expected to disrupt BLM protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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.

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

To the best of our knowledge, the variant has not been reported in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00069 (21/30608 chromosomes in South Asian subpopulation, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. 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
Dec 24, 2024
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.
