| Ambry Genetics | RCV000253774 | SCV000318525 | likely pathogenic | Cardiovascular phenotype | 2017-06-07 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.C1791Y variant (also known as c.5372G>A), located in coding exon 43 of the FBN1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 5372. The cysteine at codon 1791 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties, and is located in the cbEGF-like #25 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 variant was described in an 38-year-old individual with classic Marfan syndrome (MFS) (Loeys B et al. Arch. Intern. Med. 2001;161(20):2447-54). It was also reported in a study that screened samples with known FBN1 genotypes (Mátyás G et al. Hum. Mutat. 2002;19(4):443-56). Two other alterations in the same codon (p.C1791F and p.C1791R) have been associated with MFS (Howarth R et al. Genet. Test. 2007;11(2):146-52; Rommel K et al. Hum. Mutat. 2005;26(6):529-39). Furthermore, internal structural analysis indicates that this alteration disrupts a disulfide bond and is structurally destabilizing (Lee SS et al. Structure. 2004;12(4):717-29). 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. |

Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 246008 control chromosomes. c.5372G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Marfan Syndrome. These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. |

| Invitae | RCV003765551 | SCV004570903 | pathogenic | Marfan syndrome; Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection | 2023-05-16 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant affects a cysteine residue in the EGF-like, TGFBP or hybrid motif domains of 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). 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 263568). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 11700157; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1791 of the FBN1 protein (p.Cys1791Tyr). |
