Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Thr173Ile var iant in FBN2 has not been previously reported in individuals with connective tis sue disorders. It has been identified in 0.2% (146/65724) of European chromosom es, including 1 homozygous individual, by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC , http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs147157552). Computational prediction t ools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may not impact the prot ein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Thr173Ile variant is uncer tain, its frequency and lack of conservation suggests that it is more likely to be benign.

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

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

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease.
