Description

This sequence change in FBN1 is an intronic variant located in intron 56. This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v3.1. This variant has been reported in at least two probands with a clinical diagnosis of Marfan syndrome and a proband with thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection (PMID: 25907466, 29510914; Royal Melbourne Hospital). It has also been identified as a de novo occurrence with unconfirmed parental relationships in an individual with Marfan syndrome (SCV000787274.1). The results from multiple in silico splicing predictors (SpliceAI, MaxEntScan, NNSplice) indicate that this variant may impact splicing by disrupting the acceptor splice site of intron 56 of FBN1 by gain of a de novo acceptor site upstream. This prediction is confirmed by RT-PCR of patient RNA. The assay demonstrated that the variant impacts splicing by use of a cryptic acceptor (unable to determine if complete/partial mis-splicing) within intron 56 (r.6871_6872ins[6872-13_6872-1]) resulting in a frameshift (p.Asp2291Valfs*6; RNA Diagnostics Kid's Neuroscience Centre) leading to nonsense-mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism. Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.5.1, this variant is classified as a LIKELY PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PS3_Moderate, PS4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PM6_Supporting, PP3.
