Ambry Genetics RCV002313727 SCV000738849 pathogenic Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection 2018-02-26 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.R62C pathogenic mutation (also known as c.184C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the FBN1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 184. The arginine at codon 62 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties, and is located in the 4-cys motif LTBP-like domain near the cb EGF-like #01 domain. 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). This alteration has been reported in several patients with ectopia lentis and Marfan syndrome, and in some cases, inheritance has been described as likely de novo (Körkkö J et al. J Med Genet. 2002;39:34-41; Katzke S et al. Hum Mutat. 2002;20:197-208). Additionally, this alteration has been observed to co-segregate in multiple relatives in families with bilateral ectopia lentis (Yu R et al. Am J Ophthalmol. 2006;141(6):1136-8). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000697256 SCV000825856 pathogenic Marfan syndrome; Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection 2023-04-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is also known as R114C. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ectopia lentis (PMID: 11826022, 12203992, 16765689, 22950452, 25053872, 25944730, 27611364). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 62 of the FBN1 protein (p.Arg62Cys). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 42295). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as 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.

ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000493952 SCV001473223 pathogenic not provided 2019-12-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The FBN1 c.184C>T; p.Arg62Cys variant (rs25403), is reported in the literature in multiple individuals with symptoms or a diagnosis of Marfan syndrome or a related aortopathy (Katzke 2002, Korkko 2002, Stheneur 2009, Yang 2009, Zhao 2013). In one family with isolated ectopia lentis, the p.Arg62Cys variant was found to segregate in all affected individuals (Zhao 2013). This variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant creates a cysteine residue in one of the calcium binding EGF-like domains of fibrillin-1 (Wu 1995). Each EGF-like domain normally contains six highly-conserved cysteines and the disulfide bridges formed between these residues are essential for protein folding; disruption of the normal pattern of cysteines may interfere with proper disulfide bridge formation, disrupting protein structure. Accordingly, the revised Ghent nosology for Marfan syndrome lists missense variants of cysteine residues as one of the criteria for classification of a variant as pathogenic (Loeys 2010). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Katzke S et al.

Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 249372 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.184C>T, has been reported in the literature in several individuals, who were mostly affected with Familial Ectopia Lentis, but individuals affected with (suspected) Marfan Syndrome were also described (e.g. Korkko_2002, Katzke_2002, Robinson_2011, Yu_2006, Zhao_2012, Chen_2022); in several families the variant co-segregated with ectopia lentis. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated that the variant might affect TGF-beta1 signaling (Chaudhry_2007). Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and all classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
