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.

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 0.014275766 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 15-48470757-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-48470757-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 495608.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Variant summary: The FBN1 c.4337-1G>A variant involves the alteration of a conserved intronic nucleotide. Variant is located at one of the EGF-like calcium-binding domains of the Fibrillin protein. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. 4/4 splice prediction tools predict loss of the canonical splicing acceptor site. ESEfinder predicts changes of binding motifs for RNA splicing enhancers. This variant is absent in 118736 control chromosomes. This variant has been reported in a MFS patient and the resequencing FBN1 complementary DNA obtained from the peripheral blood demonstrated the splicing aberration, resulting in the deletion of 11 nucleotides of exon 35 (Ogawa_2011). Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
