The variant of interest causes the alteration of a cysteine, which the sulfhydryl group of cysteine is unique in its ability to participate in disulfide covalent cross-linkage. In fact, two thirds of fibrillin cysteine residues exist in the half-cystinyl form, suggesting their participation in intramolecular disulfide linkage. The cysteine residues in the EGF-like motif may also be necessary for intermolecular interactions with other fibrillin molecules or with other proteins (Dietz_1992). Therefore, alteration of cystein in this domain could disrupt disulfide binding, effecting secondary or tertiary structure or possibly impairing fibrillin interactions. The variant of interest has not been observed in controls (ExAC, 1000 Gs or ESP), nor has it been, to our knowledge, reported in affected individuals via publications and/or clinical laboratories/databases. Therefore, due to the nature of this variant affecting a cysteine which is critical for protein function, the variant of interest is classified as a "VUS-possibly pathogenic," until additional information becomes available.
