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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesJun 07, 2017The NBN c.511A>G;p.Ile171Val variant has been published in the medical literature in individuals with various cancers and has been shown to be associated with increased cancer development risk (Desjardins 2009, Gao 2013, Grajkowska 2009, Kaluzna 2015, Mosor 2013, Nowak 2008, Shimada 2004, Varon 2001). However, this variant has also been described as occurring at a similar frequency in affected and unaffected individuals and shown to have no significant association with cancer risk (Zhang 2012). The variant is listed in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 6946) and the dbSNP variant database (rs61754966) with an allele frequency of 0.123 percent (16/12990 alleles) in the Exome Variant Server and 0.1509 percent (418/277070 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The amino acid at this position is highly conserved among species, is predicted to reside in a critical functional domain, and computational algorithms (PolyPhen2, SIFT) predict this variant is deleterious. Some functional studies do show a significant functional impairment, while others show no significant change (Dzikiewicz 2012, Yamamoto 2014). Due to conflicting information, it is unclear if this variant is benign or a low penetrance pathogenic allele. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty. If this variant is later determined to be pathogenic, this individual may be at increased risk for development of breast cancer (OMIM#602667). References: Desjardins S et al.

A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 10, 2019Variant summary: NBN c.511A>G (p.Ile171Val) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the 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 0.0016 in 287466 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0026 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 21 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in NBN causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer phenotype (0.00013), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.511A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast and Ovarian Cancer, various forms of leukemia and solid tumors (example Taylor_2003, Bogdanova_2008, Grajkowska_2009, Haiman_2013, Kaluzna_2015, Kim_2015, Ramus_2015). Several of these predate the emergence of large control datasets such as ExAC and gnomAD. Predominantly, these report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about the association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Furthermore, reports of association with other forms of leukemia and solid tumors have not been firmly established. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) in multiple genes have been reported in the literature as well as in our own testing experience. Specifically, BRCA1 c.3700_3704delGTAAA, p.Val1234Glnfs (Domagala_2015); CHEK2 c.444+1G>A (Domagala_2015; BRCA2 c.6952C>T, p.Arg2318X (Internal testing); BRCA1, not specified; and PALB2, not specified (Koczkowska_2018). These co-occurrences provide additional supporting evidence for a benign role. Multiple publications provide conflicting experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. Most report no difference in measures of radiation induced DNA damage (Dzikiewicz-Krawczyk_2012), cell cycle mediated DNA synthesis and chromosomal instability (Dzikiewicz-Krawczyk_2012, Nowak_2017). The most pronounced variant effect results in reduced double stranded repair (DSB) activity through loss of association with MDC1 (Yamamoto_2014). Thirteen clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments ranging from benign/likely benign (n=2) to uncertain significance (n=11) using the same literature assessed in the scope of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The NBN p.Ile171Val variant was identified in 84 of 9038 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.01) from individuals or families with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lung cancer, breast and ovarian cancer, head and neck cancer, colorectal cancer, aplastic anemia and other hematological malignancies and was not identified in 220 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Varon 2001, Kaluzna 2015, Desjardins 2009, Ziolkowska 2007, Nowak 2008, Bogdanova 2008, Kanka 2007). The variant was also identified in the following databases: ClinVar (1x pathogenic: OMIM 1x “risk factor”; 4x uncertain significance: GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Emory Genetics, University of Chicago; 1x benign Invitae; 1x not provided ITMI), LOVD 3.0 (1x not classified), and the Zhejiang University database (5x probably pathogenic, 1x pathogenic). The variant was not identified in the COSMIC database. The variant was identified in control databases in 418 of 277070 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.002 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017); it was identified in the following populations: European (Non-Finnish) in 327 of 126600 chromosomes (frequency 0.003), European (Finnish) in 37 of 25785 chromosomes (frequency 0.001), East Asian in 27 of 18870 chromosomes (frequency 0.001), Other in 8 of 6458 chromosomes (frequency 0.001), Ashkenazi Jewish in 4 of 10148 chromosomes (frequency 0.0004), African in 6 of 24026 chromosomes (frequency 0.0002), Latino in 8 of 34404 chromosomes (frequency 0.0002), and South Asian in 1 of 30782 chromosomes (frequency 0.00003). A Japanese child with aplastic anemia has been found to be homozygous for this variant. Lymphoblastoid cell lines from this patient and her carrier father showed increased polyploidy. In addition, the homozygous patient had higher frequency of chromosomal structural aberrations than her heterozygous father and had an intermediate frequency of chromosomal structural aberrations compared to that of the patient and controls, suggesting that the variant may affect genomic integrity in hematopoietic cells (Shimada 2004). However the patient had no features of Nijmegen breakage syndrome. The p.Ile171Val residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 3 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
