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 8-89946235-AT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-89946235-AT-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 370663.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 22, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu658Aspfs*6) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 370663). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1974delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 13 of the NBN gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1974, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E658Dfs*6). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
