Ambry Genetics | RCV001170771 | SCV000738803 | likely pathogenic | Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection | 2016-12-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.C1456Y variant (also known as c.4367G>A), located in coding exon 35 of the FBN1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4367. The cysteine at codon 1456 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties, and is located in the cbEGF-like #21 domain. This variant was described in a 14 year old male with Marfan syndrome-related features (Lerner-Ellis JP et al. Mol Genet Metab. 2014;112(2):171-6). 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). An internal structural analysis suggests that this variant disrupts a cysteine-cysteine bridge in the cbEGF domain, which has been correlated with the disease phenotype (Dietz HC et al. Hum Mutat. 1992;1(5):366-74). In addition, an alteration at the same amino acid position, p.C1456S, was reported to occur de novo in an individual with probable Marfan syndrome (Stheneur C et al. Eur J Hum Genet. 2009;17(9):1121-8). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. |
