RCV001378110 | SCV001575606 | likely pathogenic | Marfan syndrome; Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection | 2022-06-04 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2674 of the FBN1 protein (p.Cys2674Arg). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FBN1-related conditions. 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. 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: 406263). |
