Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV003007869 SCV003303699 likely pathogenic Marfan syndrome; Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection 2022-01-29 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant, c.5869_5874del, results in the deletion of 2 amino acid(s) of the FBN1 protein (p.Gln1957_Cys1958del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FBN1-related conditions. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
