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]

Bloom syndrome Pathogenic:7
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingBaylor GeneticsMar 14, 2024- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 22, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp1010Metfs*24) in the BLM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BLM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17407155). This variant is present in population databases (rs780379121, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Bloom syndrome (PMID: 17407155). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189048). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 17, 2019Variant summary: BLM c.3028delG (p.Asp1010MetfsX24) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 248358 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3028delG has been reported in the literature in a homozygous and compound heterozygote individuals affected with Bloom Syndrome (German_2007). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoMay 13, 2021DNA sequence analysis of the BLM gene demonstrated a single base pair deletion in exon 16, c.3028del. This sequence change results in an amino acid frameshift and creates a premature stop codon 24 amino acids downstream of the change, p.Asp1010Metfs*24. This sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated BLM protein with potentially abnormal function. This sequence change has been previously described in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in three individuals with Bloom syndrome (PMID: 17407155). This sequence change has been described in four non-Finnish European individuals in the gnomAD population database (rs780379121). Collectively these evidences suggest that, the c.3028del change is likely pathogenic, however functional studies have not been performed to prove this conclusively. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 08, 2024The c.3028delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the BLM gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 3028, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D1010Mfs*24). This alteration has been reported in three individuals with Bloom syndrome, one of whom was homozygous for c.3028delG (German J et al. Hum. Mutat. 2007 Aug;28:743-53). This alteration was also identified in a cohort of metastatic prostate cancer patients (Ledet EM et al. Prostate. 2020 02;80:235-237). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
