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.

Variant summary: FBN1 c.6998-40delA is located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0014 in 238188 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 13 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in FBN1 causing Marfan Syndrome phenotype (0.00011). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.6998-40delA in individuals affected with Marfan Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36110). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
