  1. Bloom Helicase &Bloom Syndrome Aslı Sahin

  2. Bloom Syndrome(Congenital TelangiectaticErythema) • Dr. David Bloom in 1954. • Autosomal Recessive Disease • High frequency of breaks and rearrangements in chromosomes • Diagnosed in the first few months of life. • Very rare  Total 220 cases • 1/104 Ashkenazi Jewish person is a carrier of BLMAsh • USA & Japan consanguinity Karyotype of a Normal Individual Karyotype of an individual with Bloom Syndrome Amor-Gueret M. Bloom's syndrome. Orphanet Encyclopedia. February 2004

  3. Main Clinical Features • short stature • photosensitive facial skin lesion & red sun-sensitive skin lesions on the face • Narrow Face&Prominent ears • Immunodeficiency • M/F  infertility/subfertility • Predisposition to malignancy earlier (~25yr) &more frequent(x300) • Death before 30

  4. Nathan E. Allis et al,The Bloom’s Syndrome Gene Product Is Homologous to RecQ Helicases, Cell Vol 83 , November 17, 1995

  5. Gene name:BLM Location: 15q26.1 Protein : The Bloom (BLM) syndrome protein,1417 aa Expression Level:High levels in S phase Localisation: Nuclear Ian D.Hickson et al. RecQ HELICASES: CARETAKERS OFTHE GENOME. Nature Reviews- Cancer. Volume 3/ March 2003

  6. Helicases Unwinds complementary strands at replication fork • Superfamily II: RecQ • Genome Integrity • Tumor Suppressor Gene • Well-conserved

  7. RecQ Helicase Members in Humans • BLM • WRN • RECQ4 • RECQL • RECQ5β • Bloom’s Syndrome • Werner’s Syndrome • Rothmund – Thomson Syndrome
