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: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 10 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 12 uncertain in NM_000138.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the FBN1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 1311 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 112 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 5.0644 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 8.1787 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Marfan syndrome, Weill-Marchesani syndrome 2, dominant, progeroid and marfanoid aspect-lipodystrophy syndrome, geleophysic dysplasia, Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome, stiff skin syndrome, familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, isolated ectopia lentis, ectopia lentis 1, isolated, autosomal dominant, Acromicric dysplasia, neonatal Marfan syndrome, Weill-Marchesani syndrome.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.41284382).

This sequence change replaces phenylalanine with leucine at codon 959 of the FBN1 protein (p.Phe959Leu). The phenylalanine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between phenylalanine and leucine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a FBN1-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. In summary, this variant has uncertain impact on FBN1 function. The available evidence is currently insufficient to determine its role in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
