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
