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.

Reported in a proband with a history of a carotid artery dissection, borderline aortic root aneurysm, and pneumothorax (Overwater et al., 2018); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Does not affect a cysteine residue within a calcium-binding EGF-like domain of the FBN1 gene; cysteine substitutions in the calcium-binding EGF-like domains represent the majority of pathogenic missense changes associated with FBN1-related disorders (Collod-Beroud et al., 2003); Reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance (ClinVar Variant ID# 457269; Landrum et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29907982) -

Collection Method: clinical testing

FBN1 c.8232G>C has been identified in a single individual with features of an FBN1-related condition. This FBN1 variant(rs376119827) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD: 3/250796 total alleles; 0.001196%; no homozygotes) and has been reported in ClinVar. Three bioinformatic tools queried predict that this substitution would be tolerated and the glutamine residue at this position is not highly evolutionarily conserved across the species assessed. We consider the clinical significance of FBN1 c.8232G>C to be uncertain at this time. -

This missense variant replaces glutamine with histidine at codon 2744 of the FBN1 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in two individuals affected with thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection and/or bicuspid aortic valve (PMID: 28659821, 29907982). This variant has been identified in 3/250796 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.Q2744H variant (also known as c.8232G>C), located in coding exon 65 of the FBN1 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 8232. The glutamine at codon 2744 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was reported in a subject with carotid artery dissection, aortic aneurysm and pneumothorax (Overwater E et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 09;39:1173-1192). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: FBN1 c.8232G>C (p.Gln2744His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 250796 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.8232G>C has been reported in the literature as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing in at-least one individual affected with suspected heritable thoracic aortic disorders (example, Overwater_2018) and also in an individual undergoing candidate gene resequencing In a large bicuspid aortic valve-associated thoracic aortic aneurysm cohort (example, Gillis_2017). These report(s) 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. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
