Description

p.Gly1815Ser (GGC>AGC): c.5443 G>A in exon 45 of the FBN1 gene (NM_000138.4)The Gly1815Ser variant in the FBN1 gene has not been reported as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. Gly1815Ser results in a non-conservative amino acid substitution of a non-polar Glycine with a polar Serine at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts Gly1815Ser is damaging to the protein structure/function. Mutations in nearby residues (Glu1811Lys, Cys1812Arg, Cys1812Tyr, Cys1818Gly, Cys1818Tyr) have been reported in association with Marfan syndrome, further supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Furthermore, the Gly1815Ser variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations.In summary, while Gly1815Ser is a good candidate for a disease-causing mutation, with the clinical and molecular information available at this time we cannot unequivocally determine the clinical significance of this variant.The variant is found in TAAD panel(s).
