Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -8 ACMG points: 0P and 8B. BS1BS4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_00138 c.3422C>T is a missense variant in FBN1 predicted to cause a substitution of a Proline by Leucine at amino acid 1141 (p.Pro1141Leu). This variant has been reported in the literature in at least 3 individuals in association with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD), MASS syndrome, and features possibly consistent with Marfan syndrome (PMID:10533071; PMID:24740214; PMID:26188975). This variant was also identified in an internal proband with isolated TAAD with a family history highly specific for Marfan syndrome, however it does not segregate with disease in an affected family member (BS4) and therefore PP4 cannot be used. This variant has been previously reported in ClinVar as benign, likely benign, and uncertain significance (Variation ID: 42334). This variant has been identified in 0.026% of individuals of European origin (BS1; https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/ version 2.1.1). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis are unclear on the predicted impact on the protein. The constraint z-score for missense variants affecting FBN1 is 5.06, however due to the presence of two benign arguments PP2 cannot be used. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as benign for Marfan syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen FBN1 VCEP: BS1, BS4 LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA014098/MONDO:0007947/022

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.

Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
