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.

Variant summary: FBN1 c.3514G>A (p.Val1172Met) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 251448 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00086 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 7.64 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in FBN1 causing Marfan Syndrome phenotype (0.00011), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.3514G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Marfan Syndrome, without strong evidence for causality (eg. Lerner-Ellis_2014). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Marfan Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24793577, 33448881). Six submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Multiple submitters reported the variant with conflicting assessments: three submitters classified the variant as VUS while three classified the variant as likely benign/benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS - possibly benign. -

Identified in a patient with features of Marfan syndrome in published literature; however, this individual also harbored a second pathogenic variant in the FBN1 gene and phase was not specified (PMID: 24793577); In silico analysis suggests that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Although located in a calcium-binding EGF-like domain of the FBN1 gene, it does not affect a cysteine residue within this domain; cysteine substitutions in the calcium-binding EGF-like domains represent the majority of pathogenic missense changes associated with FBN1-related disorders (PMID: 12938084); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24793577, 12938084) -

The FBN1 c.3514G>A; p.Val1172Met variant (rs200125037) is reported in the literature in an individual affected with a suspected aortopathy (Lerner-Ellis 2014). However, the affected individual with this variant was also reported to carry a different pathogenic FBN1 variant (Lerner-Ellis 2014). The p.Val1172Met variant is found in the African population with an overall allele frequency of 0.06% (16/24964 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The valine at codon 1172 is weakly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT: damaging, PolyPhen-2: benign) predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function. However, due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Val1172Met variant is uncertain at this time. References: Lerner-Ellis JP et al.
