Description

"Variant found in 14 yr old pt with classic MFS with major involvement of skeletal system, Ocular system and cardiovascular systtem, no involvement of pulmonary system , minor involvement of skin, no family history; unclear whether controls were tested for this variant."

6 year old boy with ectopia lentis, aortic root dilation, and some skeletal features; he is being re-evaluated for both the cardio and skeletal features in November 2011 to be certain; but docs strongly suspect MFS; in addition, his parents were tested for this variant and they did not carry it so the mutation is a de novo mutation.

Description

Converted during submission to Likely pathogenic.

Description

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative and loss of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with FBN1-related disease. Variants predicted to result in nonsense mediated decay cause loss of function effects, and are more commonly associated with severe Marfan syndrome (MIM#154700). Missense variants with both dominant negative and loss of function effects on protein function, are associated with Marfan syndrome and ectopia lentis (MIM#129600) (OMIM, PMID: 29357934). The exact genotype-phenotype correlation for this gene is still unclear, and is compounded by variable expressivity (PMID: 20301510). (I) 0107 - This gene is predominantly associated with autosomal dominant disease; autosomal recessive forms of Marfan syndrome have rarely been reported (PMID: 27274304; 31950671). 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. The genotype-phenotype correlations for this gene are unclear, with single variants reported in patients with a range of phenotypes (PMID: 20301510, OMIM). (I) 0210 - Splice site variant proven to affect splicing of the transcript with a known effect on protein sequence. This variant has been confirmed by reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) to activate a cryptic acceptor splice site resulting in an insertion of six intronic nucleotides in exon 36 (c.4459_4460insTTTTAG). The variant results in an in-frame insertion of two amino acids in the protein sequence, p.(Thr1486_Asp1487insValLeu) (PMID: 18087243). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.001 for a dominant condition (1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0508 - In silico predictions for abnormal splicing are conflicting. (I) 0705 - No comparable non canonical splice variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been identified in >10 individuals with Marfan syndrome and ectopia lentis (ClinVar, PMID: 18087243, 11700157, 19293843, 32679894, doi:10.57204/001c.38690). (SP) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign

Description

The c.4460-8G>A variant in FBN1 has been reported in at least 3 individuals with Marfan syndrome and segregated with disease in 2 affected individuals from 1 family (Loeys 2001, Pepe 2007, Stheneur 2009). It has also been identified in 0.003% (1/34574) of Latino chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) and is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 36075). This variant is located in the 3' splice region. Computational tools and in vitro splicing assays (Pepe 2007) predict a splicing impact, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant Marfan syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PP3, PS3_Supporting, PS4_Moderate.
