Genes affected

ELN (HGNC:3327): (elastin) This gene encodes a protein that is one of the two components of elastic fibers. Elastic fibers comprise part of the extracellular matrix and confer elasticity to organs and tissues including the heart, skin, lungs, ligaments, and blood vessels. The encoded protein is rich in hydrophobic amino acids such as glycine and proline, which form mobile hydrophobic regions bounded by crosslinks between lysine residues. Degradation products of the encoded protein, known as elastin-derived peptides or elastokines, bind the elastin receptor complex and other receptors and stimulate migration and proliferation of monocytes and skin fibroblasts. Elastokines can also contribute to cancer progression. Deletions and mutations in this gene are associated with supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) and autosomal dominant cutis laxa.

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The 469+5G>C va riant in ELN has not been reported in the literature nor previously been identif ied by our laboratory. This variant is located in the 5' splice region, but does not affect the invariant +1 and +2 positions. However, positions +3 to +6 are p art of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions so metimes affect splicing. Four computational tools (SpliceSiteFinder-like, MaxEnt Scan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict that this variant affects splicing but thes e tools have not been sufficiently validated to assume pathogenicity. However, s plice-site alterations in the ELN gene are a reported cause of SVAS (Human Genom e Mutation Database, HGMD), which increases the likelihood that the 469+5G>C var iant is pathogenic. In summary, the available data are so far consistent with a pathogenic role but additional studies (family and control studies) are needed t o determine the clinical significance of this variant with certainty.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 9 of the ELN gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ELN protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with supravalvar aortic stenosis (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 163384). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
