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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 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. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 14, offset of -1, new splice context is: ttttttctccctccccccAGgat. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 15-48470758-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-48470758-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 200034.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.4337-2A>G intronic pathogenic mutation results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 35 in the FBN1 gene. This mutation has been previously reported in an individual meeting Ghent criteria for Marfan syndrome (Baudhuin LM et al. J. Hum. Genet. 2015;60(5):241-52). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation.

c.4337-2 A>G: IVS35-2 A>G in intron 35 of the FBN1 gene (NM_000138.4)Although the c.4337-2 A>G mutation has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge, this mutation destroys the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 35 and is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing. The mutation is predicted to lead to either an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. Other splice site mutations in the FBN1 gene have been reported in association with Marfan syndrome.In summary, c.4337-2 A>G in the FBN1 gene is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. The variant is found in TAAD panel(s).
