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]

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1077 of the BLM protein (p.Val1077Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs779096973, gnomAD 0.06%). 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: 454131). 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. -

The p.V1077M variant (also known as c.3229G>A), located in coding exon 16 of the BLM gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3229. This variant was identified in 1/432 unselected Chinese ovarian cancer patients who underwent multi-gene panel testing (Fu K et al. Sci Rep, 2024 Mar;14:6702). The valine at codon 1077 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The BLM c.3229G>A (p.Val1077Met) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with ovarian cancer (PMID: 38509102 (2024)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0006 (12/19946 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
