RCV002307365 | SCV000052427 | pathogenic | Familial ectopia lentis | 2022-10-03 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: FBN1 c.718C>T (p.Arg240Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251516 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.718C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Marfan syndrome, features of Marfan syndrome or isolated ectopia lentis (examples: Loeys_2001, Korkko_2002, Comeglio_2002, Ades_2004 and Aragon-Martin_2010). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Seven submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. |

This variant segregated with isolated ectopia lentis in >10 family members from 2 different families (Ades 2004 PMID 15054843, Vanita 2007 PMID 18079676). This variant is absent from large population studies and has been reported by multiple laboratories as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variant ID:16461). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may impact the protein. Of note, this variant is predicted to affect a cysteine residue. Cysteine in the FBN1 gene is reported to have important functional relevance; variants that involve a cysteine residue are reported to be particularly significant (Dietz, PMID: 20301510). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic based on presence of affected individuals, segregation data, absence from controls, and predicted variant impact to the protein. |

RCV000631968 | SCV000753071 | pathogenic | Marfan syndrome; Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection | 2024-01-11 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 240 of the FBN1 protein (p.Arg240Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with ectopia lentis and/or Marfan syndrome (PMID: 11700157, 11826022, 15054843, 17657824, 18079676, 19293843, 20564469). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16461). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on FBN1 protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |

Ambry Genetics | RCV001170326 | SCV002668532 | pathogenic | Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection | 2021-08-03 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.R240C pathogenic mutation (also known as c.718C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the FBN1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 718. The arginine at codon 240 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties, and is located in the hybrid module #01 domain. This alteration has been reported in association with classic Marfan syndrome (Loeys B et al. Arch Intern Med. 2001;161(20):2447-54; Stheneur C et al. Eur J Hum Genet. 2009;17(9):1121-8; Stark VC. Genes (Basel). 2020 07;11(7)), and has been detected in multiple individuals with isolated ectopia lentis (Körkkö J et al. J Med Genet. 2002;39(1):34-41; Comeglio P et al. Br J Ophthalmol. 2002;86(12):1359-62; Biggin A et al. Hum Mutat. 2004;23(1):99; Aragon-Martin JA et al. Hum Mutat. 2010;31(8):E1622-31). In addition, this alteration has been reported to segregate with disease in multiple affected individuals with isolated ectopia lentis in one family (Edwards MJ. Am J Med Gen. 1994;53(1):65-71; Adès LC et al. Am J Med Genet A. 2004;126A(3):284-9). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. |

RCV000017924 | SCV002768944 | pathogenic | Marfan syndrome | 2022-02-02 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative and loss of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with FBN1-related disease. Variants predicted to result in nonsense mediated decay cause loss of function effects, and are more commonly associated with severe Marfan syndrome (MIM#154700). Missense variants with both dominant negative and loss of function effects on protein function, are associated with Marfan syndrome and ectopia lentis (MIM#129600) (OMIM, PMID: 29357934). The exact genotype-phenotype correlation for this gene is still unclear, and is compounded by variable expressivity (PMID: 20301510). (I) 0107 - This gene is predominantly associated with autosomal dominant disease; autosomal recessive forms of Marfan syndrome have been reported infrequently (PMID: 27274304; 31950671). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. The genotype-phenotype correlations for this gene are unclear, with single variants reported in patients with a range of phenotypes (PMID: 20301510, OMIM). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to cysteine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0309 - Two alternative amino acid changes at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v3) (highest allele count: 3 heterozygotes, 0 homozygote). (I) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as pathogenic multiple times in ClinVar, and has also been reported in multiple patients with ectopia lentis and Marfan syndrome (PMID: 30838813, 34281902). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign |

RCV000017924 | SCV005042745 | pathogenic | Marfan syndrome | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The missense variant c.718C>Tp.Arg240Cys in FBN1 gene has been reported previously in heterozygous state in multiple individuals with Marfan syndrome and Chen Z, et al., 2022, Gong B, et al., 2019. The R240C variant introduces a cysteine residue within the TGF-binding protein domain 1 of the FBN1 gene, which may affect disulfide bonding and is predicted to alter the structure and function of the protein. Studies have shown that missense variants in the FBN1 gene that substitute or produce cysteine are associated with a higher risk for ectopia lentis than other missense variants Faivre L, et al., 2007. The variant is novel not in any individuals in gnomAD Exomes and 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic. The amino acid Arginine at position 240 is changed to a Cysteine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The variant is predicted to be damaging by SIFT. The amino acid change p.Arg240Cys in FBN1 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. | |
