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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.988

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with NBN-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 461561). 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. This variant at the initiator codon is expected to affect translation initiation. Rescue of translation at the next in-frame methionine at codon 83 is expected to disrupt the forkhead-associated (FHA) domain (PMID: 9590180, 26315354), which facilitates DNA repair responses (PMID: 11062235, 19804755, 12433983). However, functional study has not been tested for this variant. A different change affecting the initiator codon (c.1A>G) has been observed as homozygous in an individual affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28975465). Biallelic pathogenic NBN variants are associated with autosomal recessive Nijimegen breakage syndrome (NBS). Therefore, the clinical significance of this observation is uncertain. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the NBN mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 83. -
