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: Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 10 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 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.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.992
• PP5: Variant 15-48430802-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-48430802-T-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 406283.

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 2247 of the FBN1 protein (p.Asp2247Gly). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Marfan syndrome (PMID: 19293843, 21542060; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406283). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: FBN1 c.6740A>G (p.Asp2247Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the EGF-like domain of the encoded protein sequence. The variant is located at the first 5' nucleotide position of exon 56, therefore, could affect splicing. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 250566 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.6740A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with classic Marfan Syndrome (Baetens_2011, Stheneur_2009). However, limited available information is provided (ie, lack of co-occurrence and cosegregation data). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Marfan Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. In addition, other missense variants effecting the same codon, D2247Y and D2247V, along with nearby codons, C2245G, C2245S, C2245Y, D2249G, have been reported in association with MFS via HGMD. Therefore, suggesting the region may be important for FBN1 protein function. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
