GeneDx RCV000181647 SCV000233950 pathogenic not provided 2022-01-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Introduces a new cysteine residue within a calcium-binding EGF-like domain of the FBN1 gene, which may affect disulfide bonding and is predicted to alter the structure and function of the protein; cysteine substitutions in the calcium-binding EGF-like domains represent the majority of pathogenic missense changes associated with FBN1-related disorders (Collod-Beroud et al., 2003); Reported in ClinVar by several laboratories as pathogenic (ClinVar Variant ID# 16440); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19293843, 25053872, 22772377, 19839986, 12446365, 21932315, 21895641, 11700157, 19089573, 17679947, 9452085, 24161884, 24199744, 32123317, 8040326, 34957211, 12938084, 31730815)
Invitae RCV001201375 SCV000544955 pathogenic Marfan syndrome; Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection 2023-10-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 122 of the FBN1 protein (p.Arg122Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with ectopia lentis and/or Marfan syndrome (PMID: 8040326, 9452085, 11700157, 12446365, 17679947, 21895641, 21932315, 22772377, 25053872). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16440). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV001798007 SCV000738914 pathogenic Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection 2017-07-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.R122C pathogenic mutation (also known as c.364C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the FBN1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 364. The arginine at codon 122 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties, and is located in the EGF-like #02 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 particular alteration has been detected in numerous unrelated individuals with ectopia lentis (EL) and/or Marfan syndrome (MFS) (e.g., Loeys B et al. Arch. Intern. Med. 2001;161:2447-54; Comeglio P et al. Br J Ophthalmol. 2002;86:1359-62; Jin C et al. Mol. Vis. 2007;13:1280-4; Hung CC et al. Ann. Hum. Genet. 2009;73:559-67; Li J et al. Mol. Vis. 2014;20:1017-24). In addition, this alteration has been reported to segregate with disease in three families (Ståhl-Hallengren C et al. J. Clin. Invest. 1994;94:709-13; Black C et al. Hum. Mutat. 1998;Suppl 1:S198-200; Zadeh N et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. A. 2011;155A:2661-8). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV001000178 SCV001156669 pathogenic not specified 2018-08-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The FBN1 c.364C>T; p.Arg122Cys variant (rs137854467) has been reported in multiple families with clinical symptoms suggestive of Marfan syndrome, and is strongly associated with ectopia lentis (Black 1998, Comeglio 2002, Jin 2007, Loeys 2001, Stahl-Hallengran 1994). It is reported in ClinVar as pathogenic (Variation ID: 16440) and is absent from general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The variant changes an arginine in an EGF-like domain into a cysteine residue, which meets the revised Ghent nosology criteria of a causative Marfan syndrome variant (Loeys 2010). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Black C et al.
