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.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

The p.G2691S variant (also known as c.8071G>A), located in coding exon 64 of the FBN1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 8071. The glycine at codon 2691 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was detected in an individual with Marfan syndrome who also had an FBN1 truncation variant detected (Lerner-Ellis JP et al. Mol. Genet. Metab., 2014 Jun;112:171-6). This variant was also reported in one individual from a congenital vascular anomalies cohort; however, clinical details were not provided (Mattassi R et al. J. Vasc. Surg., 2018 03;67:922-932.e11). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: FBN1 c.8071G>A (p.Gly2691Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6e-05 in 251368 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in FBN1 causing Marfan Syndrome (6e-05 vs 0.00011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.8071G>A has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Marfan Syndrome and an individual with vascular anomalies (Mattassi_2018, Lerner-Ellis_2014). These reports however, do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Marfan Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (n=4) or benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glycine with serine at codon 2691 of the FBN1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 15/251368 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
