Genes affected

NBN (HGNC:7652): (nibrin) Mutations in this gene are associated with Nijmegen breakage syndrome, an autosomal recessive chromosomal instability syndrome characterized by microcephaly, growth retardation, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. The encoded protein is a member of the MRE11/RAD50 double-strand break repair complex which consists of 5 proteins. This gene product is thought to be involved in DNA double-strand break repair and DNA damage-induced checkpoint activation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-89953437-C-CT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-89953437-C-CT is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 234246.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one symptomatic patient, and found in general population data that is consistent with pathogenicity. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg551Lysfs*5) in the NBN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NBN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9590180, 16415040). This variant is present in population databases (rs766044684, gnomAD 0.002%). 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: 234246). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1651dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 11 of the NBN gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 1651, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R551Kfs*5). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
