Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM1PP4PP2PP3PS4_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_00138 c.5518C>T is a missense variant in FBN1 predicted to cause a substitution of an arginine by cysteine at amino acid 1840 (p.Arg1840Cys) within a calcium binding EGF-like domain of the protein. Cysteine residues in these domains are believed to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges which are essential for the protein structure and this variant may impact disulfide bonding (PM1). This variant was found in a proband who met revised Ghent criteria, which is a highly specific phenotype for Marfan syndrome (PMID 31149040, PP4). This variant has been reported three times in ClinVar: twice as likely pathogenic and once as uncertain significance (Variation ID: 519783). It has been reported in the literature in individuals with clinical features of Marfan syndrome (PMID 25652356, 29357934, 37042257, Internal data, PS4_Sup). This variant is present in 1/35435 (0.003%) of alleles tested from the Admixed American population gnomAD (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/v2.1.1). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein (REVEL: 0.78, PP3). The constraint z-score for missense variants affecting FBN1 is 5.06 (PP2). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for Marfan syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen FBN1 VCEP: PM1, PS4_Sup, PP2, PP3, PP4 LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA055122/MONDO:0007947/022

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.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Sep 13, 2024	This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 1840 in a calcium-binding EGF-like domain of the FBN1 protein. Cysteine-creating variants in cbEGF-like domains have been shown to affect protein stability and are overrepresented among patients with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 15161917, 16571647, 17701892). Computational prediction also suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 31149040) and in two unrelated individuals suspected of having Marfan syndrome (PMID: 25652356, 29357934). This variant has been identified in 4/282656 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute	Oct 10, 2024	Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.5, 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. Variants predicted to result in nonsense mediated decay cause loss of function effects, and are more commonly associated with severe Marfan syndrome (MIM#154700). Missense variants with both dominant negative and loss of function effects on protein function, 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 (PMID: 20301510). (I) 0107 - This gene is predominantly associated with autosomal dominant disease; autosomal recessive forms of Marfan syndrome have rarely been reported (PMID: 27274304; 31950671). (I) 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 (PMID: 20301510, OMIM). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to cysteine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.001 for a dominant condition (v4: 7 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v4: 11 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated calcium binding EGF domain (DECIPHER). (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been classified as likely pathogenic by an expert panel in ClinVar and reported in the literature in individuals with clinical features of Marfan syndrome (PMID: 25652356, PMID: 29357934, PMID: 31149040, PMID: 37042257). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FBN1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 519783). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Marfan syndrome (PMID: 25652356, 29357934). This variant is present in population databases (rs765387131, gnomAD 0.008%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1840 of the FBN1 protein (p.Arg1840Cys). -

Variant summary: FBN1 c.5518C>T (p.Arg1840Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251262 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.5518C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with features of Marfan Syndrome (Baudhin_2015, Becerra-Munoz_2018). These data indicate that the variant may 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: 25652356, 29357934). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 519783). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

The p.R1840C variant (also known as c.5518C>T), located in coding exon 44 of the FBN1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 5518. The arginine at codon 1840 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration was described in an individual with some clinical features of Marfan syndrome, but did not fulfill Ghent nosology (Baudhuin LM et al. J. Hum. Genet., 2015 May;60:241-52). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. The majority of FBN1 mutations identified to date have involved the substitution or generation of cysteine residues within cbEGF domains (Vollbrandt T et al. J Biol Chem. 2004;279(31):32924-32931). However, since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. Family studies may help to elucidate the clinical impact of this alteration. -
