Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000825587 SCV000966927 likely pathogenic Marfan syndrome 2018-02-07 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Cys1138Tyr variant in FBN1 has been reported in an individual with clinica l features of Marfan syndrome (Comeglio 2007) and was absent from large populati on studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest tha t the p.Cys1138Tyr variant may impact the protein. Additional missense variants at this amino acid position (p.Cys1138Phe, p.Cys1138Arg, p.Cys1138Gly, and p.Cys 1138Ser) have been reported in association with Marfan syndrome or other FBN1-re lated disorders (Stheneur 2009, Lerner-Ellis 2014, UMD-FBN1 database; Collod-Ber oud 2003), suggesting that changes at this position in not tolerated. Additiona lly, the p.Cys1138Tyr variant affects a cysteine residue within a calcium-bindin g EGF-like domain of the FBN1 gene, which may affect disulfide bonding and is pr edicted to alter the structure and function of the protein. Cysteine substitutio ns in the calcium-binding EGF-like domains represent the majority of pathogenic missense changes associated with Marfan syndrome (Vollbrandt 2004). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical signifi cance, the p.Cys1138Tyr variant is likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied (Richards 2015): PS4-Supporting, PM1, PM2, PP3.
