| Ambry Genetics | RCV002325337 | SCV002608498 | likely pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2021-10-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.C1055R variant (also known as c.3163T>C), located in coding exon 15 of the BLM gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 3163. The cysteine at codon 1055 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been identified in one patient with Bloom syndrome who also carried c.2098C>T (German J et al. Hum Mutat, 2007 Aug;28:743-53). Another alteration at the same codon, p.C1055S (c.3164G>C), has been reported in the literature in both a homozygous and compound heterozygous state in individuals with Bloom syndrome (Ellis NA et al. Cell, 1995 Nov;83:655-66; German J et al. Hum. Mutat., 2007 Aug;28:743-53; Montenegro MM et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2020 04;8:e1133). Functional studies of p.C1055S have also demonstrated that this alteration causes reduced BLM protein expression and lacks detectable helicase and DNA-dependent ATPase activities, which are essential for wild-type interaction of BLM with tp53 in the DNA damage response pathway (Wang XW et al. J. Biol. Chem., 2001 Aug;276:32948-55; Neff NF et al. Mol. Biol. Cell, 1999 Mar;10:665-76). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. |
