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.

FBN1 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.013811514 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 15-48434593-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-48434593-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 419595.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.6616+1 G>A variant has been reported previously in two individuals with Marfan syndrome(Attanasio et al., 2008; Proost et al., 2015). This variant destroys the canonical splice donor site inintron 54 and is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing. This variant is predicted to lead to eitheran abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal proteinproduct if the message is used for protein translation. Other splice site variants in the FBN1 gene,including two affecting the same splice donor site (c.6616+1 G>T; c.6616+2 T>A), have beenreported in HGMD in association with Marfan syndrome (Stenson et al., 2014). Furthermore, thec.6616+1 G>A variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and AfricanAmerican ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benignvariant in these populations. In summary, c.6616+1 G>A in the FBN1 gene is interpreted as a pathogenic variant. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419595). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 19293843, 25907466). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 54 of the FBN1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in FBN1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17657824, 19293843). -
