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.

The p.Arg1539X variant in FBN1 has been reported in >10 individuals with clinical features of Marfan syndrome, including a de novo occurrence in one of these individuals, and segregated with disease in three affected relative from three families (Tiecke 2001 PMID: 11175294, Loeys 2001 PMID: 11700157, Loeys 2004 PMID: 15241795, Attanasio 2008 PMID: 18435798, Attanasio 2013 PMID: 23684891, Stheneur 2009 PMID: 19293843, Yoo 2010 PMID: 19863550, Baetens 2011 PMID: 21542060, Wang 2013 PMID: 22772377, Baudhuin 2015 PMID: 25101912, Gao 2019 PMID: 31279664, Li 2019 PMID: 31098894, LMM data). It was absent from large population studies. The p.Arg1539X variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 42366). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1539, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the FBN1 gene is an established disease mechanism in Marfan syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant Marfan syndrome. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PS4, PM2, PM6, PP1. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000042366, PMID:11175294). Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant (PVS1_VS). It is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Pathogenic:1

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R1539* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4615C>T), located in coding exon 37 of the FBN1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4615. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 37. This mutation has been reported in patients with clinical features of classic Marfan syndrome (Tiecke F et al. Eur J Hum Genet 2001;9:13-21, Loeys B et al. Arch Intern Med 2001;161:2447-54, Attanasio M et al. Eur J Med Genet 2013;56:356-60, Wang WJ et al. J Mol Med 2013;91:37-47, Baudhuin LM et al. J Hum Genet 2015;60:241-52). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1539*) 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 11175294, 11700157, 15241795, 18435798, 19863550, 21542060, 22772377, 25101912). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42366). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
