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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 14, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg43*) 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 present in population databases (rs200287925, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with triple negative breast cancer (PMID: 24763289, 26976419). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142203). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineApr 18, 2018The p.Arg43X variant in NBN has been not been reported in individuals with Nijme gen breakage syndrome. However, it has reported in 1 individual with hereditary cancer and two individuals with breast cancer (LaDuca 2014, Tung 2016, Thompson 2016) and has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 142203). The variant has b een identified in 4/22288 Finnish chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/; dbSNP rs200287925). Although this v ariant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to b e consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 43 which is predicted to lead to a tru ncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the NBS gene is an established dis ease mechanism in Nijmegen breakage syndrome. In summary, although additional st udies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Arg43X va riant is likely pathogenic for Nijmegen breakage syndrome. in an autosomal reces sive manner based upon predicted impact to the protein and absence from controls ,.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 04, 2022Variant summary: NBN c.127C>T (p.Arg43X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 251426 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.127C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with various cancers, including those of the breast and brain (e.g. Damiola_2014, LaDuca_2014, Lu_2015, Thompson_2016). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eleven ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: one classified the variant as uncertain significance, six as likely pathogenic, and four as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoDec 03, 2019DNA sequence analysis of the NBN gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.127C>T, which results in the creation of a premature stop codon at amino acid position 43, p.Arg43*. This sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated NBN protein with potentially abnormal function. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a population frequency of 0.018% in Finnish subpopulation (dbSNP rs200287925). This sequence change has previously been described in a patient with triple-negative breast cancer and a family history of lung cancer, exocrine pancreatic cancer and CNS tumor (PMID: 26976419). Additionally it has also been identified in two patients with personal and/or family history of breast cancer but limited clinical information was provided (PMID: 26786923, PMID: 29555771). Truncating variants in the NBN gene are known to be pathogenic. These collective evidences indicate that this sequence change is likely pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 13, 2023The p.R43* variant (also known as c.127C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the NBN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 127. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 2. The predicted stop codon occurs within the first 150 nucleotides of theNBN gene. This alteration may escape nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay and/or be rescued by re-initiation (Rivas MA et al. Science. 2015 May 8;348(6235):666-9; Lindeboom RGH et al. Nat. Genet. 2016 Oct;48(10):1112-8; Rhee JK et al. Sci. Rep. 2017 May 10;7(1):1653). Re-initiation on a downstream methionine would disrupt the forkhead-associated domain (FHA) which has been implicated in NBN function (Zhao S et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 2002 Nov;30:4815-22). However, the exact functional impact of this particular alteration is unknown at this time. This alteration has been reported in patients with breast cancer (Damiola F et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2014 Jun;16:R58; Thompson ER et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2016 May;34:1455-9; Tung N et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2016 May;34:1460-8). It has also been identified in trans with a possible deleterious variant in an individual without features of Nijmegen breakage syndrome (Ambry internal data). Since supporting evidence is conflicting at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
