Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PM1PM2PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000138.5(FBN1):c.7982A>G(p.Tyr2661Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Y2661D) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

The FBN1 c.7982A>G; p.Tyr2661Cys variant (rs112196241) is reported in the literature in two individuals diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, including one incidence of the variant occurring de novo (Stheneur 2009, Takeda 2018). The variant is also reported in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 549448) and is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The tyrosine at codon 2661 is moderately conserved but computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.736). This variant creates a cysteine residue in one of the calcium binding EGF-like domains of fibrillin-1 (Wu 1995). Each EGF-like domain contains six highly-conserved cysteines and the disulfide bridges formed between these residues are essential for protein folding; creation of a novel cysteine may interfere with proper disulfide bridge formation, disrupting protein structure. Accordingly, the revised Ghent nosology for Marfan syndrome lists creation of a cysteine residue as one of the criteria for classification of a variant as pathogenic (Loeys 2010). Based on available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. References: Loeys BL et al. The revised Ghent nosology for the Marfan syndrome. J Med Genet. 2010 Jul;47(7):476-85.

Marfan syndrome;C4707243:Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection    Pathogenic:1 
This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 2661 of the FBN1 protein (p.Tyr2661Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Marfan syndrome and thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) (PMID: 19293843, 29848614; Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 549448). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
