Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1_StrongPP2PP3PM2_SupportingPS4_Supporting
This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_00138 c.1538G>T is a missense variant in FBN1 predicted to cause a substitution of a cysteine by phenylalanine at amino acid 513 (p.Cys513Phe). This variant has not been reported in the literature but has been found in at least two probands; this includes one individual with bilateral ectopia lentis and thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, and one with unspecified features of a connective tissue disorder (PS4_supporting; Invitae & LabCorp internal data, ClinVar Variation ID: 406288). This variant is not present in gnomAD (PM2_supporting; https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). This variant affects a cysteine residue in a calcium binding EGF domain; cysteine residues are believed to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges which are essential for the protein structure (PM1_strong). Several other variants affecting this codon have been reported in association with Marfan syndrome (p.Cys513Gly, p.Cys513Ser, p.Cys513Tyr, p.Cys513Arg). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis strongly support that this variant may impact the protein’s structure or function (PP3). The constraint z-score for missense variants affecting FBN1 is 5.06 (PP2). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for Marfan syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen FBN1 VCEP: PM1_strong, PM2_supporting, PS4_supporting, PP2, PP3.

Marfan syndrome Pathogenic:1
NM_00138 c.1538G>T is a missense variant in FBN1 predicted to cause a substitution of a cysteine by phenylalanine at amino acid 513 (p.Cys513Phe). This variant has not been reported in the literature but has been found in at least two probands; this includes one individual with bilateral ectopia lentis and thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, and one with unspecified features of a connective tissue disorder (PS4_supporting; Invitae & LabCorp internal data, ClinVar Variation ID: 406288).

Marfan syndrome;C4707243:Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Pathogenic:1
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Cys513 amino acid residue in FBN1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with FBN1-related conditions (PMID: 27906200; Invitae), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. 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). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FBN1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406288). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Marfan syndrome (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 513 of the FBN1 protein (p.Cys513Phe). -
not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: FBN1 c.1538G>T (p.Cys513Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the EGF-like calcium-binding domain (IPR001881) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. "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. The variant was absent in 121218 control chromosomes (ExAC). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1538G>T in individuals affected with Aortopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
