Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000138.5(FBN1):c.3963A>G(p.Thr1321=) variant causes a splice region, synonymous change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T1321T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

This sequence change affects codon 1321 of the FBN1 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the FBN1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individuals with clinical features of FBN1-related conditions (PMID: 10464652, 10647894, 12446365, 17657824, 19161152, 35058154). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 520237). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The c.3963A>G variant (also known as p.T1321T), located in coding exon 31, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 3963 of the FBN1 gene. This nucleotide substitution does not change the amino acid at codon 1321. In one study, this substitution was found to alter the second to last nucleotide of codingexon31 and resulted inexonskipping and abnormal splicing detected byRT-PCRanalysis of total RNA isolated from cultured fibroblasts (Liu et al.Genet Test. 1997-1998;1(4):237-242).In another study, this variant was reported in a patient with predominantectopialentisand other features ofMarfansyndrome (ComeglioP et al.Br JOphthalmol. 2002: 86(12); 1359-1362).This sequence variation was also reported in a patient and his similarly affected daughter, though the authors suggested the possibility that an additional mutation may exist that was not detected byheteroduplexanalysis (HallidayD et al.Hum Genet. 1999; 105(6): 587-597). It was also detected inan individual presented with skeletal system involved, aortic dilatation and family history ofectopia lentis but did not fulfillGhentcriteria (Turner CL et al, Am. J. Med. Genet. A 2009 Feb;149A(2):161-70).This variant was previously reported in the SNPDatabase as rs140648. It<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:10pt">was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: NHLBIExomeSequencing Project (ESP)and 1000 Genomes Project.
