Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The FBN2 c.6511+5G>A variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide. One in silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing and ESE Finder predicts no significant effect on ESE sites at the locus. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in ExAC at a frequency of 0.0049729 (549/110398 control chromosomes [2 homozygotes]), which is approximately 3978 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic FBN2 variant (0.0000013), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign. To our knowledge, the variant of interest has not been reported in affected individuals via publications, nor has it been evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Congenital contractural arachnodactyly Benign:2

Jan 12, 2018

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

FBN2 NM_001999 exon 51 c.6511+5G>A: This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in 0.7% (894/125710) of European individuals including 3 homozygotes in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/rs200608284). This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as likely benign or benign (Variation ID:137344). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. This variant is an intronic variant with no predicted change in the amino acid sequence but may have an unknown effect on splicing. Further studies are needed to understand its impact. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -

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. -
