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.5824T>C; p.Cys1942Arg variant, to our knowledge, is not described in the medical literature or in gene-specific databases. It is also absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant occurs in a cysteine residue in one of the calcium binding EGF-like domains of fibrillin-1 (Wu 1995). Each EGF-like domain contains six highly-conserved cysteines and the disulfide bridges formed between these residues are essential for protein folding; loss of one of these cysteines may interfere with proper disulfide bridge formation, disrupting protein structure. Accordingly, the revised Ghent nosology for Marfan syndrome lists missense variants of cysteine residues as one of the criteria for classification of a variant as pathogenic (Loeys 2010). Based on available information, this variant is considered likely pathogenic. REFERENCES Loeys et al. The revised Ghent nosology for the Marfan syndrome. J. Med. Genet. 2010 47(7): 476-85. Wu et al.

Variant summary: FBN1 c.5824T>C (p.Cys1942Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the EGF-like domain (IPR000742) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. In addition, this variant occurs in a cysteine residue in EGF-like domain and the sulfhydryl group of cysteine is unique in its ability to participate in disulfide covalent cross-linkage. In fact, two-thirds of fibrillin cysteine residues exist in the half-cystinyl form, suggesting their participation in intramolecular disulfide linkage (Dietz_1992). Therefore, the substitution of a cysteine may disrupt the structure of the FBN1 protein, affecting its function. The variant was absent in 250846 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.5824T>C has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Marfan Syndrome (Xu_2019). The data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Cys1942 amino acid residue in FBN1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with FBN1-related conditions (PMID: 31830381; Invitae), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. This variant affects a cysteine residue in the EGF-like, TGFBP or hybrid motif domains of FBN1. Cysteine residues are believed to be involved in intramolecular disulfide bridges and have been shown to be important for FBN1 protein structure (PMID: 16905551, 19349279). In addition, missense substitutions affecting cysteine residues within these domains are significantly overrepresented among patients with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 16571647, 17701892). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FBN1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 811411). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 31830381). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1942 of the FBN1 protein (p.Cys1942Arg). -
