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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0119 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-89935609-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-89935609-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 480044.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=3, Uncertain_significance=3}.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr746*) in the NBN gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 9 amino acid(s) of the NBN protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs751570713, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with renal cancer and thyroid cancer (PMID: 32782288, 36346689). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 480044). 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. -

The p.Y746* variant (also known as c.2238C>A), located in coding exon 16 of the NBN gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 2238. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 16. This stop codon occurs at the 3' terminus of NBN, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 9 amino acids of the protein. However, the truncation occurs in an ATM binding domain, and upstream of a nuclear localization signal. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

This variant is denoted NBN c.2238C>A at the cDNA level and p.Tyr746Ter (Y746X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Tyrosine to a premature stop codon (TAC>TAA). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature. NBN Tyr746Ter results in the loss of 9 amino acids at the end of the protein, which might affect normal function. However, due to the location of the newly created nonsense codon in the last exon, the transcript is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay and could therefore encode a truncated protein that retains some normal function. The deleted residues are located in the region of interaction with ATM (Damiola 2014). NBN Tyr746Ter was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, Lek 2016). Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether NBN Tyr746Ter is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
