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). (I) 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) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from cysteine to serine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0601 - Variant affects the well-established functional cysteine residue part of disulfide bonding in the EGF domain (DECIPHER). (SP) 0702 - Other missense variants comparable to the one identified in this case have strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. These alternative changes (p.(Cys1086Arg), p.(Cys1086Tyr), p.(Cys1086Trp), p.(Cys1086Gly)) have been reported several times as pathogenic, and de novo in individuals with neonatal Marfan syndrome. In one of these individuals, the variant was mosaic in their unaffected parent (ClinVar, PMID: 9401003, PMID: 17366579, PMID: 18379569). (SP) 0807 - This variant has no previous evidence of pathogenicity. (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1203 - This variant has been shown to be de novo in the proband (parental status confirmed, by trio analysis).
