This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000138.5 c.7540G>A is a missense variant in FBN1 predicted to cause a substitution of a glycine acid by arginine at amino acid 2514 (p.Gly2514Arg), located within a calcium binding EGF-like (cbEGF) domain of the protein. This variant was found in a proband with thoracic aortic aneurysm and ectopia lentis which is a highly specific phenotype for Marfan syndrome (internal data-Bichat) (PP4). This variant has been reported in at least 4 individuals with thoracic aortic aneurysm and/or clinical features of Marfan syndrome (PMID 26272055, 19720936, 11875032, Laboratory for Molecular Medicine ClinVarentry), and in at least 3 individuals clinically diagnosed with Marfan syndrome (PMID 33483584, 28468757, Rurali et al. 2019) (PS4). It was also found to segregate with the disease in at least 5 affected family members from multiple families (Rurali et al. 2019, Laboratory for Molecular Medicine ClinVar entry, internal data) (PP1_Strong). This variant is not present in gnomAD (PM2_sup; https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/ version 2.1.1). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein (REVEL: 0.945) (PP3). The constraint z-score for missense variants affecting FBN1 is 5.06 (PP2). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Marfan syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen FBN1 VCEP: PS4, PP1_Strong, PM2_Sup, PP2, PP3, PP4 LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA017250/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.

This missense, heterozygous variant NM_000138.5:c.7540G>A p.(Gly2514Arg) in the gene FBN1 implicates an amino acid that is 100% conserved in vertebrates and is located in a functional domain. This variant is absent from gnomAD (v4.1.0) and has previously been reported numerous times in ClinVar as pathogenic, likely pathogenic and of uncertain significance. Pathogenic monoallelic variants in the FBN1 gene are associated with a spectrum of syndromes including Marfan syndrome, of autosomal dominant transmission (OMIM #154700). According to the available evidence, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. -

The FBN1 c.7540G>A; p.Gly2514Arg variant (rs363811) is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with Marfan syndrome or thoracic aortic aneurysm/dissection (Guo 2015, Ng 2002, Pilop 2009, Rurali 2019). This variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The glycine at codon 2514 is highly conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.945). However, due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Gly2514Arg variant is uncertain at this time. References: Guo J et al.

The p.G2514R pathogenic mutation (also known as c.7540G>A), located in coding exon 60 of the FBN1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 7540. The glycine at codon 2514 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with Marfan syndrome and segregated with disease in at least one family (Ng PC et al. Genome Res, 2002 Mar;12:436-46; Guo J et al. Sci Rep, 2015 Aug;5:13115; Pilop C et al. Circulation, 2009 Sep;120:983-91; Rurali E et al. Theranostics, 2019 Apr;9:2224-2234; Gezdirici A et al. J Hum Genet, 2021 Jul;66:647-657; external communication; Ambry internal data). This variant alters a conserved residue in the calcium-binding consensus sequence of a cbEGF domain and is expected to disrupt FBN1 function (Handford PA et al. Nature. 1991; 351(6322):164-7). Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in structural stability (Jensen SA et al. Structure, 2009 May;17:759-68; Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Variant summary: FBN1 c.7540G>A (p.Gly2514Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the EGF-like domain (IPR000742) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251264 control chromosomes. c.7540G>A has been reported in individuals diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome with aortic/cardiovascular phenotypes and without ocular phenotypes (e.g. Pilop_2009, Franken_2017, and Gezdirici_2021). At-least one individual is reported with sporadic thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (example: Guo_2015). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11875032, 19720936, 26272055, 33483584, 28468757). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 178034). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The FBN1 c.7540G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly2514Arg. This variant was reported in multiple individuals with Marfan syndrome (see for example - Ng et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 11875032; Guo et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26272055; Gezdirici et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33483584). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. In ClinVar, this variant has been interpreted as pathogenic by multiple laboratories including the ClinGen FBN1 Variant Curation Expert Panel (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/178034/). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2514 of the FBN1 protein (p.Gly2514Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with FBN1-related conditions (PMID: 11875032, 19720936, 26272055). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 178034). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FBN1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The Gly2514Arg variant in FBN1 has been reported in two individuals with Marfan syndrome (Ng 2002, Kumar 2009, Pilop 2009). In addition, this variant has been i dentified in 0.6% (3/336) of Asian chromosomes, 0.6% (1/180) of Luhya Kenyan chr omosomes, 2% (2/98) of Mexican chromosomes, and 0.6% (1/176) of Tuscan chromosom es by the HapMap Project (dbSNP rs363811). Computational analyses (biochemical a mino acid properties, conservation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) suggest that the Gly2514Arg variant may impact the protein, though this information is not p redictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Furthermore, this variant has segre gated between a mother and daughter with clinical features of Marfan syndrome (L MM unpublished data), suggesting a pathogenic role. In summary, due to the confl icting information available, additional studies are needed to fully assess the clinical significance of the Gly2514Arg variant. -
