RCV000200290 | SCV000250152 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2016-10-21 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | p.Gly424Arg (GGA>AGA): c.1270 G>A in exon 10 of the FBN2 gene (NM_001999.3) The Gly424Arg variant in the FBN2 gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. Gly424Arg results in a non-conservative amino acid substitution of a non-polar Glycine with a positively charged Arginine at a position that is conserved across species. The Gly424Arg variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Nevertheless, no mutations in nearby residues have been reported in association with contractural arachnodactyly, indicating this region of the protein may be tolerant of change. With the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot definitively determine if Gly424Arg is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. This variant was found in TAAD |
