FBN2-related disorder Uncertain:1
May 17, 2024
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The FBN2 c.809G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg270Leu. This variant was reported in an individual with aortic dissection (Stanford type A); however, this individual also carried a rare TGFB3 missense variant (patient A246, Chen et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34422331). This variant was also documented in an idiopathic scoliosis cohort (Lin et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36675693). This variant is reported in 0.010% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as benign in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/1435127/). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Uncertain:1
Jun 04, 2025
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R270L variant (also known as c.809G>T), located in coding exon 6 of the FBN2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 809. The arginine at codon 270 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant has been reported in a thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) cohort and a scoliosis cohort (Chen ZR et al. J Thorac Dis, 2021 Jul;13:4008-4022; Lin MR et al. J Pers Med, 2022 Dec;13:).This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
