Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000823584 SCV000964446 likely pathogenic Marfan syndrome; Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection 2018-08-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with FBN1-related disease. The observation of one or more missense substitutions at this codon (p.Cys1068Arg and p.Cys1068Gly) in affected individuals suggests that this may be a clinically significant residue (PMID: 15264290, 19293843, 20803651). 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. This variant affects a cysteine residue in the EGF-like, TGFBP or hybrid motif domains FBN1. Cysteine residues are believed to be involved in intramolecular disulfide bridges and have been shown to be important for FBN1 protein structure (PMID: 16905551, 19349279). In addition, missense substitutions affecting cysteine residues within these domains are significantly overrepresented among patients with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 16571647, 17701892). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine with serine at codon 1068 of the FBN1 protein (p.Cys1068Ser). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between cysteine and serine.
