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.

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.3, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative and loss of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with FBN1-related disease. Variants predicted to result in nonsense mediated decay cause loss of function effects, and are more commonly associated with severe Marfan syndrome. Missense with both dominant negative and loss of function effects on protein function, are also associated with causing Marfan syndrome and ectopia lentis (OMIM, PMID: 29357934). The exact genotype-phenotype correlation for this gene is still unclear, and compounded by variable expressivity (GeneReviews). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease. Patients with a recessive form of disease have Marfan syndrome, however there are very few reports (OMIM). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. The genotype-phenotype correlations for this gene are unclear, with single variants reported in patients with a range of phenotypes (GeneReviews, OMIM). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from tyrosine to cysteine (exon 16). (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools and moderately conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0601 - Variant is located in a functional calcium-binding EGF-like domain (NCBI). (SP) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. The variant has been previously reported in patients with both familial ectopia lentis and Marfan syndrome (ClinVar, PMID: 16222657, 16835936, 18435798, 24501682). (SP) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1204 - Variant has been shown to be de novo in the proband (parental status not tested but assumed) (VCGS #20G001937, 20G001938).

The p.Y635C variant (also known as c.1904A>G), located in coding exon 15 of the FBN1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1904. The tyrosine at codon 635 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties, and is located in the cbEGF-like #06 domain. The majority of FBN1 mutations identified to date have involved the substitution or generation of cysteine residues within cbEGF domains (Vollbrandt T et al. J Biol Chem. 2004;279(31):32924-32931). This variant has been detected in several individuals from cohorts with Marfan syndrome (MFS) or suspected MFS, including individuals with aortic root dilation and ectopia lentis; however, clinical detail was limited in some cases (Arbustini E et al. Hum Mutat, 2005 Nov;26:494; Sakai H et al. Am J Med Genet A, 2006 Aug;140:1719-25; Attanasio M et al. Clin Genet, 2008 Jul;74:39-46; Proost D et al. Hum Mutat, 2015 Aug;36:808-14; Gentilini D et al. PLoS One, 2019 Sep;14:e0222506). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Reported in ClinVar (ClinVar Variant ID# 520493; ClinVar); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Introduces a new cysteine residue within a calcium-binding EGF-like domain of the FBN1 gene, which may affect disulfide bonding and is predicted to alter the structure and function of the protein; cysteine substitutions in the calcium-binding EGF-like domains represent the majority of pathogenic missense changes associated with FBN1-related disorders (PMID: 12938084); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34550612, 18435798, 31536524, 35058154, 20591885, 12938084, 16222657) -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tyrosine with cysteine at codon 635 of the FBN1 protein (p.Tyr635Cys). The tyrosine residue is moderately conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between tyrosine and cysteine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed to be de novo in an individual affected with ectopia lentis (Invitae) and has been reported in other individuals with this condition or Marfan syndrome (PMID: 16222657, 18435798). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 520493). 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 disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
