The NM_00138 c.8488C>T, is a nonsense variant in FBN1 that occurs in the last exon of the gene and is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay but is expected to disrupt the last 42 amino acids of the protein. Premature terminations in the C-terminus are considered to be deleterious (PVS1_Strong; PMID 24982166, 12161601, 7911051, 21034599). This variant was found in a proband with thoracic aortic dissection and a systemic score >7, which is a highly specific phenotype for Marfan syndrome (MFS) (Internal lab data, PMID 29875124, PP4). This variant has been reported twice in ClinVar, once as pathogenic and once as uncertain significance (Variation ID: 263414). This variant is not present in gnomAD (PM2_sup; https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/ v2.1.1). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for Marfan syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen FBN1 VCEP: PVS1_Strong, PM2_Sup, PP4
