RCV001978203 | SCV002271366 | uncertain significance | Bloom syndrome | 2021-08-24 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces serine with alanine at codon 338 of the BLM protein (p.Ser338Ala). The serine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between serine and alanine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BLM-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The alanine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BLM function (PMID: 25794620). 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. |
