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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Dec 22, 2016	The p.E616K variant (also known as c.1846G>A), located in coding exon 15 of the FBN1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1846. The glutamic acid at codon 616 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties, and is located in the cb EGF-like #06 domain. This alteration was reported in a case of familial Marfan syndrome; however, clinical details were limited (Stheneur C et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2009 Sep;17:1121-8). Another alteration affecting the same amino acid, p.E616G (c.1847A>G), has also been reported in association with Marfan syndrome (Liu WO et al. Genet. Test. 1997/98;1:237-42). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: FBN1 c.1846G>A (p.Glu616Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the EGF-like calcium-binding domains (IPR001881) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251434 control chromosomes. c.1846G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Marfan Syndrome (example: Stheneur_2009, Lerner-Ellis_2014, Zhang_2021 and Li_2021 etc.). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified as VUS (n=3), Likely pathogenic (n=2) and pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 616 of the FBN1 protein (p.Glu616Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Marfan syndrome (PMID: 12938084, 19293843; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42294). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Glu616 amino acid residue in FBN1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with FBN1-related conditions (PMID: 10464652), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Glu616Lys variant has been reported in an individual meeting Ghent clinical criteria for Marfan syndrome (Stheneur 2009) and is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 42294). In addition, this variant has been identified by our laboratory in 2 individuals. In one family it segregated with 2 affected individuals; however, in the other family it was absent in two affected first degree relatives. This variant was absent from large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2; PP3;PP4. -
