RCV000199549 | SCV000250246 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2013-01-08 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | p.Leu2546Val (CTC>GTC): c.7636 C>G in exon 60 of the FBN2 gene (NM_001999.3) The Leu2546Val variant in the FBN2 gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. Leu2546Val results in a conservative amino acid substitution of one non-polar amino acid with another at a position that is conserved across species. The NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Server reports Leu2546Val was not observed in approximately 6,500 samples from individuals of European and African American backgrounds, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Nevertheless, no mutations in nearby codons have been reported in association with congenital contractural arachnodactyly. With the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot definitively determine if Leu2546Val is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. This variant was found in TAAD |
