It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are relatively common causes of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098) but according to multiple splice site algorithms this particular variant is not predicted to significantly affect splicing. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. This variant is present in population databases (rs762144935, ExAC 0.006%) but has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a FBN2-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. |
