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 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.058719646 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.9, offset of 0 (no position change), new splice context is: tctGTatgt. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-89982718-ATACCAGGTTGGT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-89982718-ATACCAGGTTGGT-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 370793.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Microcephaly, normal intelligence and immunodeficiency Pathogenic:3

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Mar 30, 2022	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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 370793). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NBN-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant results in the deletion of part of exon 2 (c.163_171+3del) of the NBN gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in NBN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9590180, 16415040). -

The c.163_171+3del12 variant results from a deletion of 12 coding nucleotides at the 3' end of coding exon 2 in the NBN gene. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) (Lek M et al. Nature, 2016 08;536:285-91). Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to weaken this splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function due to an abnormal transcript, a translational frameshift leading to premature truncation, or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
