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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E616* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1846G>T), located in coding exon 15 of the FBN1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1846. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 15. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: FBN1 c.1846G>T (p.Glu616X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 251434 control chromosomes. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1846G>T in individuals affected with FBN1-related conditions and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 432209). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The E616X variant in the FBN1 gene has not been reported as a pathogenic variant or as a benign variant to our knowledge. E616X is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either by protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Other nonsense variants in the FBN1 gene have been reported in HGMD in association with Marfan syndrome (Stenson et al., 2014). Furthermore, the E616X likely pathogenic variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations.In summary, E616X in the FBN1 gene is expected to be pathogenic, -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu616*) in the FBN1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FBN1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17657824, 19293843). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FBN1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 432209). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
