Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate
The NM_002485.5(NBN):c.803C>T(p.Thr268Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000403 in 1,613,912 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 17/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T268A) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 268 of the NBN protein (p.Thr268Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs535602436, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354, 29522266). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182734). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -

Observed in individuals with breast or ovarian cancer and in unaffected controls (Ramus et al., 2015; Hauke et al., 2018; Momozawa et al., 2018; Fujita et al., 2020); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26315354, 26644315, 29522266, 30287823, 33309985, 24894818) -

Variant summary: NBN c.803C>T (p.Thr268Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Nibrin, second BRCT domain of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.6e-05 in 277034 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in NBN causing Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome (3.6e-05 vs 0.0025), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.803C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (Ramus_2015, Hauke_2018). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome or HBOC. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Aplastic anemia    Uncertain:1

NBN-related disorder    Uncertain:1 
The NBN c.803C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr268Met. This variant was reported in an individual with ovarian cancer (Ramus et al 2015. PubMed ID: 26315354). This variant is reported in 0.0070% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as a variant of uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/182734/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Uncertain:1 
The p.T268M variant (also known as c.803C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the NBN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 803. The threonine at codon 268 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with similar properties. In one study, this alteration was observed in 5/3236 cases with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer and 0/3431 controls (Ramus SJ et al. J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 2015 Nov;107:). In another study, this alteration was not observed in 7051 unselected female breast cancer patients and was detected in 1/11241 female controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun. 2018 10;9:4083). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
