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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu107Phefs*36) 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 (rs781221411, gnomAD 0.02%). 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: 405281). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.320dupT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 2 of the BLM gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 320, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L107Ffs*36). This variant has been detected as heterozygous in patients with colorectal cancer and acute myeloid leukemia (Gong R et al. Cancer Manag Res. 2019 Apr;11:3721-3739, Kim B et al. PLoS ONE. 2019 Mar;14:e0212228). 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. -
