Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000154463 SCV000204132 uncertain significance not specified 2012-02-24 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The -8G>A variant ( TFGBR2) has not been reported in the literature but has been identified in one i ndividual with clinical features of Marfan syndrome (this individual's son). Th is variant is located in the 5' UTR 8 nucleotides upstream of the translation in itiation codon (ATG). Regulatory variation in the 5' and 3' UTR's could negative ly gene expression through reduced mRNA translation but this type of disease mec hanism has not been reported in Marfan or Loeys-Dietz syndromes. Although this data supports that the -8G>A variant may be benign, additional studies are neede d to fully assess its clinical significance. The clinical significance of this v ariant should be interpreted in the context of this individual's clinical manife station.
