Description
This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 1530 in a TGFbeta-like domain of the FBN1 protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. Cysteine creating variants in cbEGF-like and TGFbeta-like domains have been shown to affect protein stability and are overrepresented among patients with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 15161917, 16571647, 17701892). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in more than 10 individuals affected with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 17663468, 19863550, 22772377, 24161884, 24793577, 25907466, 28941062, 29198452, 29357934, 30393980, 30838813, 31730815, 31825148) and in multiple individuals affected with ectopia lentis (PMID: 11700157, 14695540, 17679947, 19941982, 20564469, 24698609, 31098894, 36729443, 38190127). It has also been reported in multiple individuals suspected to be affected with Marfan syndrome (PMID: 17253931, 17627385, 25652356, 29768367, 31536524) and in one individual affected with thoracic aortic aneurysm (PMID: 28550590). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in multiple affected individuals across multiple families (PMID: 17663468, 17679947, 19941982, 29357934, 36729443). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
