" /> Nijmegen breakage syndrome - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Nijmegen breakage syndrome;

Symbol : NBS;

CISMeF acronym : AT-V1; AT-V2; BBS; NBS;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Ataxia-telangiectasia variant v1; Microcephaly with normal intelligence, immunodeficiency, and lymphoreticular malignancies; Seemanova syndrome II; Nonsyndromal microcephaly, autosomal recessive, with normal intelligence; Immunodeficiency, microcephaly, and chromosomal instability; AT-V1;

Included titles and symbols : Berlin breakage syndrome; Ataxia-telangiectasia variant v2; BBS; AT-V2;

Description : The Nijmegen breakage syndrome and the phenotypically indistinguishable Berlin breakage syndrome are autosomal recessive chromosomal instability syndromes characterized by microcephaly, growth retardation, immunodeficiency, and predisposition to cancer. Ataxia-telangiectasia variant-1 is the designation applied to the Nijmegen breakage syndrome and AT variant-2 is the designation for the Berlin breakage syndrome, which differ only in complementation studies. Cells from NBS/BBS patients are hypersensitive to ionizing radiation with cytogenetic features indistinguishable from those of ataxia-telangiectasia (AT; 208900), but NBS/BBS patients have a distinct clinical phenotype. The clinical features of LIG4 syndrome (606593), caused by mutation in the LIG4 gene (601837), resemble those of NBS.;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the Nijmegen breakage syndrome gene (NBS1, 602667.0001);

Neoplasia : Lymphoma; Glioma; Medulloblastoma; Rhabdomyosarcoma;

Laboratory abnormalities : Normal alpha fetoprotein; Low T cell count; Low CD4 count; Low B cell count; Low CD4 /CD8 ratio;

Prefixed ID : #251260;
