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.

Marfan syndrome Pathogenic:2 Uncertain:1

Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative and loss of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with FBN1-related disease. Null variants with loss of function effects are more commonly associated with severe Marfan syndrome (MIM#154700). Missense variants with both dominant negative and loss of function effects are associated with Marfan syndrome and ectopia lentis (MIM#129600) (OMIM, PMID: 29357934). The exact genotype-phenotype correlation for this gene is still unclear and is compounded by variable expressivity (GeneReviews). (I) 0107 - This gene is predominantly associated with autosomal dominant disease; autosomal recessive forms of Marfan syndrome have been reported infrequently (PMID: 27274304; 31950671). 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. The genotype-phenotype correlations for this gene are unclear, with single variants reported in patients with a range of phenotypes (GeneReviews, OMIM). (I) 0212 - Non-canonical splice site variant without proven consequence on splicing (no functional evidence available). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0505 - Abnormal splicing is predicted by in silico tools and affected nucleotide is highly conserved. (SP) 0702 - Another splice site variant comparable to the one identified in this case has strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. c.5788+5G>A has multiple entries in the FBN1 Universal Mutation Database (UMD), with the majority of patients listed as having classic Marfan syndrome and is consistently classified as pathogenic in ClinVar. Additionally, RT-PCR analysis of cultured fibroblasts from a proband revealed that this variant causes in-frame skipping of exon 47 and a small amount of abnormally spliced transcripts utilized a cryptic splice donor or a cryptic splice acceptor (PMID: 7611299). (SP) 0804 - This variant has previously been described as a variant of uncertain significance in multiple independent cases with consistent phenotype despite being absent in the general population. It has been identified at least two individuals with Marfan Syndrome (PMID: 18435798, 33394117) and classified as a VUS by diagnostic laboratories in ClinVar. (SP) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Variant summary: FBN1 c.5788+5G>T alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. One predicts the variant weakens a 5' donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The frequency data for this variant in gnomAD is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position. c.5788+5G>T has been reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with a diagnosis of or clinical features consistent with Marfan Syndrome (example, Attanasio_2008, Jimenez_2022, Proost_2015, Meester_2022, Xu_2020). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. However, we note that a different splice variant at this site, c.5788+5G>A, has been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18435798, 35741789, 35058154, 25907466, 31830381). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36095). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Marfan syndrome;C4707243:Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Pathogenic:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 47 of the FBN1 gene. It does not directly 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 individual(s) with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 18435798, 25907466, 35741789). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36095). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts the c.5788+5G nucleotide in the FBN1 gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 14695540, 16222657, 17657824, 25053872). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
