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]

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Variant summary: NBN c.1317A>G (p.Ile439Met) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00027 in 251276 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0041 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.64 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in NBN causing Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome phenotype (0.0025), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. In addition, the variant was reported in 23/2559 African American women including 1 homozygote (i.e. with a frequency of 0.009), who were older than 70 years of age, and never had cancer (FLOSSIES database). These data strongly suggest that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African origin. c.1317A>G has been reported in the literature as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing among individuals affected with various tumor phenotypes (example, Yurgelun 2015, Ring 2016, Haiman 2013) including one homozygous germline occurrence in a colorectal cancer patient who was diagnosed over the age of 50 (Hampel 2018). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with a predominant consensus as benign/likely benign (n=6); (VUS, n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

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. -

The NBN p.Ile439Met variant was identified in 2 of 3282 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0006) from individuals or families with Lynch syndrome or endometrial carcinoma (Yurgelun 2015, Ring 2016). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs28538230) as "With Likely benign allele", ClinVar (classified as likely benign by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Invitae, and three other clinical laboratories), and the Zhejiang University Databse (1x). The variant was not identified in Cosmic or LOVD 3.0 databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 96 of 277020 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0004, increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 95 of 24024 chromosomes (freq: 0.004), Latino in 1 of 34398 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), while the variant was not observed in the Other, European, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Ile439 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence but 2 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; however, this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
