Bloom syndrome is a rare inherited condition marked by short stature, a characteristic facial appearance, and a heightened sensitivity to sunlight. The carrier test examines a specific genetic change, known as the 2281del6ins7 mutation, that is more common in people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.

About Bloom Syndrome Carrier Test | Ashkenazi Jew in Wheeling

This blood test identifies carriers and affected individuals for the 2281del6ins7 mutation associated with Bloom syndrome in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.

Bloom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning a child must inherit a altered gene from each parent to be affected. Carriers have one altered copy and one normal copy, and they typically do not show symptoms of the condition.

The 2281del6ins7 mutation is a well-documented change in the BLM gene that is found with increased frequency among individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. Testing for this specific mutation can clarify carrier status and inform reproductive decisions.

Because the test targets a single mutation rather than scanning the entire gene, a negative result reduces but does not entirely eliminate the chance of being a carrier. Other rare mutations in the BLM gene would not be detected by this assay.
