DNA damage response (DDR) pathways maintain genomic stability. A 657del5 mutation of NBS1, a key DDR component, causing the rare cancer-predisposing Nijmegen breakage syndrome has been reported nearly exclusively in Slavic populations. In this study, we describe the first identification in a Japanese population of an unprecedented type of heterozygous NBS1 mutant, termed IVS11+2insT, lacking the MRE11- and...
