NBN nibrin

Gene ID: 4683, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ATV; NBS; P95; NBS1; AT-V1; AT-V2; hNbs1

Summary

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]
