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: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 10 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 15 uncertain in NM_000138.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr15-48432949-A-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 200196.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• 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, 0.903

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Phe2219Ser variant in FBN1 has been reported in 1 individual Marfan syndrome and was also identified in at least 4 relatives with some clinical features of Marfan syndrome but who did not meet diagnostic criteria (LMM data). It was absent from large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2_Supporting, PP1, PP3.
