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.

Marfan syndrome Pathogenic:2

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The 2242T>C (Cys748Arg) variant has not been previously reported in the literatu re or been previously identified by our laboratory. A different variant at the s ame amino acid position (Cys748Tyr) has been reported in the literature in two a ffected individuals and was observed to segregate with disease in one family (Ka tzke 2002, Halliday 2002). Cystine at position 748 of FBN1 is highly conserved a cross several evolutionarily distant species, increasing the likelihood that thi s change is pathogenic. In addition, this variant affects a cysteine residue and cysteine substitutions are a common finding in individuals with Marfan syndrome (Schrijver 1999). Therefore, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The FBN1 c.2242T>C (p.Cys748Arg) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 5/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant lies in a conserved region within EGF-like #07. "The sulfhydryl group of cysteine is unique in its ability to participate in disulfide covalent cross-linkage . In fact, two thirds of fibrillin cysteine residues exist in the half-cystinyl form, suggesting their participation in intramolecular disulfide linkage. The cysteine residues in the EGF-like motif may also be necessary for intermolecular interactions with other fibrillin molecules or with other proteins (Dietz_1992)." Therefore, alteration of cysteine in this domain could disrupt disulfide binding, effecting secondary or tertiary structure or possibly impairing fibrillin interactions. This variant is absent in 121350 control chromosomes and has been reported in a patient with MFS in the literature. A different variant involving the same codon (p.Cys748Tyr) has been reported in MFS patients in the literature (Halliday_2002, Katzke_2002), which supports the functional role of this amino acid position. In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratory has classified this variant as likely pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as "likely pathogenic,"until additional evidence becomes available. -

Jul 31, 2019

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change replaces cysteine with arginine at codon 748 of the FBN1 protein (p.Cys748Arg). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and arginine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 24793577, 29357934, 30675029). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42300). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant affects a cysteine residue in the EGF-like, TGFBP or hybrid motif domains of FBN1. Cysteine residues are believed to be involved in intramolecular disulfide bridges and have been shown to be important for FBN1 protein structure (PMID: 16905551, 19349279). In addition, missense substitutions affecting cysteine residues within these domains are significantly overrepresented among patients with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 16571647, 17701892). -
