Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate
The NM_002485.5(NBN):c.1979G>C(p.Arg660Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000151 in 1,591,830 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R660K) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 660 of the NBN protein (p.Arg660Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs201781110, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NBN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216567). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
not provided Uncertain:2
The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00032 (8/24962 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant was found both in individuals with breast cancer as well as unaffected individuals in a large breast cancer association study (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/NBN)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in cases and controls in a breast cancer study (PMID: 33471991); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 36346689, 24894818, 33471991) -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: NBN c.1979G>C (p.Arg660Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.5e-05 in 282548 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in NBN causing Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome (3.5e-05 vs 0.0025), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. In a large study evaluating breast cancer cases and controls in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC), the variant was reported in 1/60466 cases, but was also found in 1/53461 controls (Dorling_2021 through LOVD). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33471991). Eight submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments (VUS: 7; Likely benign: 1) for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Aplastic anemia Uncertain:1

NBN-related disorder Uncertain:1
The NBN c.1979G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg660Thr. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with NBN-related disorders. This variant has been observed in 1/60466 cases in a large study evaluating breast cancer (Breast Cancer Association Consortium. et al 2021. PubMed ID: 33471991; https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/0000753532#00014315). This variant is reported in 0.032% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/8-90958459-C-G) and is interpreted as uncertain significance (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/216567/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
