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.

The c.4891T>A (p.Cys1631Ser) variant in the FBN1 gene has not been reported in individuals with FBN1-related conditions. This variant affects a cysteine residue in the calcium binding EGF-like (cbEGF23) domain (PMID: 12938084, 17627385). Cysteine residues are believed to be involved in intramolecular disulfide bridges and have been shown to be important for FBN1 protein structure (PMID: 16905551, 19349279). In-silico computational prediction tools suggest that this variant may have deleterious effect on the protein function (REVEL score: 0.97). This variant is found to be absent in the general population database (gnomAD) and interpreted as likely pathogenic by one ClinVar submitter (ClinVar ID: 457227). Therefore, the c.4891T>A (p.Cys1631Ser) variant in FBN1 is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant affects a cysteine residue located within a calcium-binding EGF-like domain of the FBN1 protein. Cysteine residues in cbEGF-like domains are involved in the formation of disulfide bridges, which are critical for FBN1 protein structure and stability (PMID: 4750422, 16677079). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with FBN1-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

In summary, this variant is a novel missense change affecting a residue crucial for protein stability and function. Although additional genetic data will be necessary to further confirm pathogenicity for this variant, cysteine substitutions located in FBN1 EGF-like domains are likely deleterious. For these reasons, 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 FBN1 protein. Cysteine residues in these domains have been shown to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges, which are critical for FBN1 protein structure and stability (PMID: 10486319, 3495735, 4750422, 16677079). In addition, missense substitutions within the FBN1 EGF-like domains affecting cysteine residues are significantly overrepresented among patients with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 16571647, 17701892). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with FBN1-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine with serine at codon 1631 of the FBN1 protein (p.Cys1631Ser). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between cysteine and serine. -
