Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate
The NM_002485.5(NBN):c.52C>A(p.Leu18Ile) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000806 in 1,613,318 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L18L) has been classified as Likely benign.

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 18 of the NBN protein (p.Leu18Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs587781939, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NBN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141689). 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 specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: NBN c.52C>A (p.Leu18Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251306 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.52C>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (George_2021, Escherich_2024). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant (Escherich_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 38446568, 33646313). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141689). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Aplastic anemia Uncertain:1

not provided Uncertain:1
In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
The p.L18I variant (also known as c.52C>A), located in coding exon 2 of the NBN gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 52. The leucine at codon 18 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was identified in an individual from Barbados who was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 39 (George SHL et al. JAMA Netw Open, 2021 Mar;4:e210307). This amino acid position is highly 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. -
