Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000464135 SCV000544916 likely pathogenic Marfan syndrome; Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection 2017-05-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant generates a cysteine residue in an epidermal-growth-factor (EGF)–like domain of the FBN1 protein. Cysteine residues in these domains have been shown to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges, which are critical for FBN1 protein structure and stability (PMID: 4750422, 16677079). Cysteine creating variants in these domains have been shown to affect protein stability and are overrepresented among individuals with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 15161917, 16571647, 17701892). In summary, this variant is a rare missense change affecting a residue required for protein stability. Although additional genetic data will be necessary to further confirm pathogenicity for this variant. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant has been reported to segregate with Marfan syndrome in a single family (PMID: Invitae database). The variant is seen in three individuals from two generations of the family. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine with cysteine at codon 509 of the FBN1 protein (p.Gly509Cys). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between glycine and cysteine.
