Marfan syndrome Pathogenic:2
PM2, PS5, PP4 -
The p.Gly1838Cys variant in FBN1 has been identified in 3 individuals with clini cal features of Marfan syndrome (Ganesh 2006, Beatens 2011, LMM data) and was ab sent from large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservat ion analysis suggest that the p.Gly1838Cys variant may impact the protein, thoug h this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In addit ion, one study observed abnormal fibril patterns using firbilin-1 staining in ti ssue from an individual who carried this variant (Ganesh 2006). In summary, alth ough additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significanc e, the p.Gly1838Cys variant is likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2 ; PS4_Moderate; PP3; PS3_Supporting (Richards 2015). -

Variant Summary: The FBN1 c.5512G>T (p.Gly1838Cys) variant causes a missense change involving a conserved nucleotide with 4/4 in silico programs (SNPs&GO not captured here due to low reliability index) predicting a "deleterious" outcome, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. However, this missense mutation involved a highly conserved Gly residue, replacing it with a Cys. "The sulfhydryl group of cysteine is unique in its ability to participate in disulfide covalent cross-linkage . In fact, two thirds of fibrillin cysteine residues exist in the half-cystinyl form, suggesting their participation in intramolecular disulfide linkage. The cysteine residues in the EGF-like motif may also be necessary for intermolecular interactions with other fibrillin molecules or with other proteins (Dietz_1992)." Therefore, a missense change to a cysteine residue could disrupt normal disulfide binding, effecting secondary or tertiary structure, or possibly impairing fibrillin interactions. In addition, the variant of interest was absent in 121354 control chromosomes, has been reported in affected individuals via publications, and one clinical lab has classified the variant as pathogenic. Therefore, taking all available lines of evidence, the variant of interest is classified as Likely Pathogenic until additional information becomes available. -
