Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PP3_Moderate
The NM_002485.5(NBN):c.664T>C(p.Phe222Leu) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000422 in 1,613,124 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic 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. F222I) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Microcephaly, normal intelligence and immunodeficiency Uncertain:4
This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 222 of the NBN protein (p.Phe222Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs541992192, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, late-onset sporadic melanoma, leukemia, and/or uterine cancer (PMID: 17496786, 25503501, 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 136046). 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 disruptive. 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. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with a personal or family history of melanoma, breast, leukemia, or other cancers, as well as in unaffected controls (PMID: 17496786, 25503501, 29522266, 34326862, 33471991); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24396275, 17496786, 25503501, 33471991, 29522266, 34072463, 26580448, 37503171, 38446568, 34326862) -
The NBN c.664T>C (p.Phe222Leu) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMIDs: 25503501 (2015), 29522266 (2018), 33471991 (2021) see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/)), melanoma (PMID: 17496786 (2007)), leukemia (PMID: 26580448 (2015)), as well as reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021) see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000039 (5/128768 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

The p.F222L variant (also known as c.664T>C), located in coding exon 6 of the NBN gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 664. The phenylalanine at codon 222 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been detected in an individual diagnosed with melanoma (Meyer P et al. Melanoma Res. 2007 Apr;17(2):109-16). This alteration has also been detected in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast cancer (Maxwell KN et al. Genet. Med. 2015 Aug;17:630-8; Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 04;7:1349-1358). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: NBN c.664T>C (p.Phe222Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the second BRCT domain (IPR032429) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 250722 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.664T>C has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with melanoma with no family history of cancer, as a VUS in an individual affected with leukemia, and in an individual with a personal history of breast cancer and leukemia and an extensive family history of cancer, without strong evidence for causality (Meyer_2007, Maxwell_2015, Zhang_2015). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Ten submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
