Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5
The NM_000138.5(FBN1):c.5512G>A(p.Gly1838Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000248 in 1,613,992 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G1838C) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Pathogenic:1
The p.G1838S variant (also known as c.5512G>A), located in coding exon 44 of the FBN1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 5512. The glycine at codon 1838 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties, and is located in the cb-EGF like #26 domain. This alteration was detected in an individual with a personal history of aortic or arterial aneurysms and dissections (Hicks KL et al. J Vasc Surg, 2018 Sep;68:701-711). This alteration has also been reported in subjects with features of FBN1-related disease (Ambry internal data; personal communication). Based on internal structural analysis, p.G1838S disrupts a conserved motif in a cbEGF-like domain in FBN1, and the equivalent position in other FBN1 cbEGF-like domains is disrupted by internally pathogenic variants (Handford PA et al. Nature, 1991 May;351:164-7; Lee SS et al. Structure, 2004 Apr;12:717-29; Khau Van Kien P et al. Hum Mutat, 2010 Jan;31:E1021-42). In addition, this variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
Marfan syndrome;C4707243:Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1838 of the FBN1 protein (p.Gly1838Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with FBN1-related conditions (internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 457232). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FBN1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Marfan syndrome Uncertain:1

not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: FBN1 c.5512G>A (p.Gly1838Ser) 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. The variant was absent in 251256 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.5512G>A has been reported in the literature in at least one individual tested for genetically triggered aortic or arterial aneurysms or dissections (Hicks_2018). The report does 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. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
