RCV001365394 | SCV001561663 | uncertain significance | Bloom syndrome | 2022-06-20 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 476 of the BLM protein (p.Lys476Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 1056542). 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 arginine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. |
| Ambry Genetics | RCV002395823 | SCV002702740 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2023-03-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.K476R variant (also known as c.1427A>G), located in coding exon 6 of the BLM gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1427. The lysine at codon 476 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |
