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 8-89964428-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-89964428-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 6945.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr8-89964428-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6945). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome (PMID: 9590180). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln326*) 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). -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q326* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.976C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the NBN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 976. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 8. A Dutch individual with Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) was reported to be homozygous for this mutation (Varon R et al. Cell, 1998 May;93:467-76). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
