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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 31, 2020Variant summary: NBN c.897-2A>T is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing, resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict that the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site. Two predict that the variant creates a 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 250876 control chromosomes. To our knowledge, there are no reports of c.897-2A>T in individuals affected with Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function in the literature. Three other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 09, 2023This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 7 of the NBN gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.02%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 28888541, 32427313). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 219440). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoDec 03, 2021NBN NM_002485.4 intron 7 c.897-2A>T: This variant has been reported in the literature in at least 3 individuals with either breast or prostate cancer (Matejcic 2020 PMID:32832836, Palmer 2020 PMID:32427313). This variant is present in 0.01% (4/41454) of African alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/8-89964509-T-A?dataset=gnomad_r3). This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as Likely Pathogenic (Variation ID:219440). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. Of note, this variant alters the consensus splice sequence (+/- 1,2) which is predicted to result in an absent or abnormal protein. Loss of function variants are a known mechanism of disease for this gene (Varon 1998 PMID:9590180). In summary, data on this variant is highly suspicious for disease, but requires further evidence for pathogenicity. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -

NBN-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 05, 2023The NBN c.897-2A>T variant is predicted to disrupt the AG splice acceptor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant has been reported in individuals with prostate, breast, or ovarian cancer as well as in a healthy control subjects (Supplementary Table 2, Matejcic et al 2020. PubMed ID: 32832836; Supplementary Table 3, Palmer et al 2020. PubMed ID: 32427313; Table S7, Lilyquist et al 2017. PubMed ID: 28888541). This variant is reported in 0.023% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/8-90976737-T-A). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice acceptor site in NBN are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 24, 2023The c.897-2A>T intronic variant results from an A to T substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 8 in the NBN gene. In one study, this variant was detected in 2/5054 African American women with breast cancer and in 1/4994 unaffected African American women (Palmer JR et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2020 12;112:1213-1221). This variant was also identified in a cohort of 3579 African males diagnosed with prostate cancer who underwent multi-gene panel testing of 19 DNA repair and cancer predisposition genes (Matejcic M et al. JCO Precis Oncol, 2020 Jan;4:32-43). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
