Order Bloom Syndrome Carrier Test | Ashkenazi JewThe Bloom Syndrome Carrier Test for individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent is a targeted genetic blood test. It identifies the presence of a specific mutation, known as 2281del6ins7, in the BLM gene. This mutation is associated with Bloom syndrome, a rare inherited disorder.
About Bloom Syndrome Carrier Test | Ashkenazi Jew in St. Cloud
Bloom syndrome is an autosomal recessive condition caused by mutations in the BLM gene.
The BLM gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays a critical role in maintaining the stability of DNA during cell division. When the gene is mutated, the protein functions improperly, leading to a high rate of genetic recombination and an increased risk of chromosome breakage.
Individuals who inherit two copies of a BLM mutation—one from each parent—are affected by Bloom syndrome. Carriers, who have only one mutated copy, typically do not show symptoms but can pass the mutation to their children. The 2281del6ins7 mutation is one of several founder mutations observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.
This test analyzes a blood sample to determine whether a person carries the 2281del6ins7 mutation. Carrier testing can provide information for family planning and help assess the chance of having a child with Bloom syndrome.
