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 p.R565* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1693C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the FBN1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1693. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 13. This mutation has been detected in individuals reported to have Marfan syndrome in multiple studies (Arbustini E et al, Hum. Mutat. 2005 Nov; 26(5):494; Söylen B et al, Clin. Genet. 2009 Mar; 75(3):265-70; Comeglio P et al, Hum. Mutat. 2007 Sep; 28(9):928; Baetens M et al, Hum. Mutat. 2011 Sep; 32(9):1053-62; Magyar I et al, Hum. Mutat. 2009 Sep; 30(9):1355-64; Youil R et al, Hum. Mutat. 2000 Jul; 16(1):92-3). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: FBN1 c.1693C>T (p.Arg565X) 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 251242 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1693C>T has been observed in multiple individuals affected with Marfan Syndrome (e.g. Youil_2000, Arbustini_2005). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 10874320, 16222657, 19293843, 21542060, 19618372). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 199975). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg565*) 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 individual(s) with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 10874320, 16222657, 17418587, 17657824, 19159394, 27724990). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 199975). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
