Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PP4 PM2_Supporting PVS1_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_00138 c.8488C>T, is a nonsense variant in FBN1 that occurs in the last exon of the gene and is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay but is expected to disrupt the last 42 amino acids of the protein. Premature terminations in the C-terminus are considered to be deleterious (PVS1_Strong; PMID 24982166, 12161601, 7911051, 21034599). This variant was found in a proband with thoracic aortic dissection and a systemic score >7, which is a highly specific phenotype for Marfan syndrome (MFS) (Internal lab data, PMID 29875124, PP4). This variant has been reported twice in ClinVar, once as pathogenic and once as uncertain significance (Variation ID: 263414). This variant is not present in gnomAD (PM2_sup; https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/ v2.1.1). 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: PVS1_Strong, PM2_Sup, PP4 LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA10587783/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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln2830*) in the FBN1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 42 amino acid(s) of the FBN1 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Marfan syndrome (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 263414). This variant disrupts a region of the FBN1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gln2867*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19293843). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
