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 FBN1 c.7180C>T; p.Arg2394Ter variant (rs397515848) is reported in the literature in numerous individuals affected with Marfan syndrome (Halliday 1999, Hernandiz 2021, Hu 2020, Jimenez 2022, Meester 2022, Stark 2020). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 42422) and is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Halliday D et al. Molecular analysis of eight mutations in FBN1. Hum Genet. 1999 Dec;105(6):587-97.

The p.R2394* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.7180C>T), located in coding exon 57 of the FBN1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 7180. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 57. This alteration has been reported in multiple subjects with Marfan syndrome and has been reported as a de novo alteration (Halliday D et al. Hum. Genet., 1999 Dec;105:587-97; Howarth R et al. Genet. Test., 2007;11:146-52; Stheneur C et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2009 Sep;17:1121-8; Baudhuin LM et al. Genet. Med., 2015 Mar;17:177-87; Yang H et al. Clin. Chim. Acta, 2016 Aug;459:30-35). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Variant summary: FBN1 c.7180C>T (p.Arg2394X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 251064 control chromosomes. c.7180C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Marfan Syndrome (Halliday_1999, HOwarth_2007, Yoo_2010, Stheneur_2009). 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. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 10647894, 12161601, 11933199, 17627385, 19863550, 19293843). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42422). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2394*) in the FBN1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in FBN1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17657824, 19293843). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 10647894, 19863550, 25101912, 27724990). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42422). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
