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 has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. However, a different missense variant at the same residue (C1947Y) was reported as a likely pathogenic variant in a 5 year-old male who met criteria for a clinical diagnosis of Marfan syndrome (Lerner-Ellis et al., 2014). In addition, missense variants in nearby residues (F1954C, C1956R) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with Marfan syndrome (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. The C1947R variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The C1947R variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Finally, the C1947R variant affects a Cysteine residue within a calcium-binding EGF-like domain of the FBN1 gene, which may affect disulfide bonding and is predicted to alter the structure and function of the protein. Cysteine substitutions in the calcium-binding EGF-like domains represent the majority of pathogenic missense changes associated with Marfan syndrome (Collod-Beroud et al., 2003).Therefore, this variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant, however the possibility that it is a benign variant cannot be excluded. -

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant affects a cysteine residue located within an epidermal-growth-factor (EGF)–like domain of the FBN1 protein. Cysteine residues in these domains have been shown to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges, which are critical for FBN1 protein structure and stability (PMID: 10486319, 3495735, 4750422, 16677079). In addition, missense substitutions within the FBN1 EGF-like domains affecting cysteine residues are significantly overrepresented among patients with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 16571647, 17701892). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 30076350). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 430389). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine with arginine at codon 1947 of the FBN1 protein (p.Cys1947Arg). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and arginine. -
