Genes affected

FBN2 (HGNC:3604): (fibrillin 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a component of connective tissue microfibrils and may be involved in elastic fiber assembly. Mutations in this gene cause congenital contractural arachnodactyly. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 17 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), FBN2. . Gene score misZ 1.5491 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 3.2752 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, carpal tunnel syndrome, macular degeneration, early-onset, congenital contractural arachnodactyly.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.996
• PP5: Variant 5-128335993-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-128335993-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 519834.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.C1240Y variant (also known as c.3719G>A), located in coding exon 28 of the FBN2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3719. The cysteine at codon 1240 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. In one study, 13 of 14 reported FBN2 mutations were found in the middle region of the gene (exons 24-36), and 7 of these mutations were noted to alter or produce a cysteine residue (Callewaert BL et al. Hum Mutat. 2009;30(3):334-341). Based on internal structural analysis, p.C1240Y is predicted to eliminate a conserved disulfide in the cb EGF-like domain #15, suggesting disruption of folding of this domain (Downing AK et al. Cell. 1996;85:597-605). In one study, this variant was reported in a child with Beals syndrome (also known as congenital contractural arachnodactyly (CCA)), and the authors described the occurrence to be de novo (Semyachkina AN et al. Russian Bulletin of Perinatology and Pediatrics. 2016;61(5):47-51 [In Russian]). Another alteration involving the same amino acid, p.C1240R (referred to as p.C1239R), also has been reported in a patient with CCA (Gupta PA et al. Hum Mutat. 2002;19:39-48). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, p.C1240Y is predicted to be probably damaging and deleterious by PolyPhen and SIFT in silico analyses, respectively. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

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. This variant affects a cysteine residue located within an epidermal growth factor (EGF)–like domain of the FBN2 protein. Cysteine residues in these domains are involved in the formation of disulfide bridges critical for protein structure and stability (PMID: 3495735, 4750422, 16677079). In addition, missense substitutions within the FBN2 EGF-like domains affecting cysteine residues are overrepresented in patients with congenital contractural arachnodactyly (PMID: 18767143). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with congenital contractural arachnodactyly (PMID: 31316167). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 519834). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 1240 of the FBN2 protein (p.Cys1240Tyr). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and tyrosine. -
