RCV001225499 | SCV001397781 | pathogenic | Marfan syndrome; Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection | 2019-09-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe1435Serfs*40) in the FBN1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in FBN1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17657824, 19293843). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with FBN1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). |
