GenAge entry for NBN (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 44)

HGNC symbol: NBN
Aliases: ATV; AT-V2; AT-V1; NBS; NBS1
Common name: nibrin

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to a pathway or mechanism linked to ageing
Description: Mutations in NBN cause Nijmegen breakage syndrome, a chromosomal instability syndrome that has been suggested as progeroid [55]. NBN is involved in DNA repair, probably of double-strand breaks, in conjunction with other proteins associated with ageing [894]. While not proven, NBN could potentially play some role in human ageing.
