Genes affected

FBN1 (HGNC:3603): (fibrillin 1) This gene encodes a member of the fibrillin family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate two proteins including the extracellular matrix component fibrillin-1 and the protein hormone asprosin. Fibrillin-1 is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that serves as a structural component of calcium-binding microfibrils. These microfibrils provide force-bearing structural support in elastic and nonelastic connective tissue throughout the body. Asprosin, secreted by white adipose tissue, has been shown to regulate glucose homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with Marfan syndrome and the related MASS phenotype, as well as ectopia lentis syndrome, Weill-Marchesani syndrome, Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome and neonatal progeroid syndrome.

The FBN1 c.8226+5G>A variant (rs193922243) is reported in the literature in an individual affected with Marfan syndrome (Miller 2017). Familial testing of the affected individual did not find the variant in either parent, suggesting a de novo origin in this individual (Miller 2017). This variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This is an intronic variant in a moderately conserved nucleotide, and computational analyses (Alamut v.2.11) predict that this variant may impact splicing by weakening the nearby canonical donor splice site. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Miller KA et al. Diagnostic value of exome and whole genome sequencing in craniosynostosis.

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with Marfan syndrome or aortic dilatation, being described as de novo in two of them (PMID: 27884935, Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 200129). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 65 of the FBN1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the FBN1 protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. -
