RCV004018308 | SCV004847476 | likely pathogenic | Marfan syndrome | 2016-05-05 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The 6013_6014insTA (Ser2005IlefsX55) variant has not been previously reported in the literature or been identified by our laboratory. This variant leads to a premature stop codon. Protein truncating variants are common in FBN1; therefore, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. From this DNA sequencing test, we cannot determine the effect this nucleotide change will have on the protein produced. It is possible that a truncated protein is generated; as the nucleotide change is predicted to lead to a stop codon at amino acid 2059. Alternatively, no protein would be produced from this allele if nonsense-mediated decay occurs, as premature stop codons frequently result in degradation of the mRNA. |
