Genes affected

CFTR (HGNC:1884): (CF transmembrane conductance regulator) This gene encodes a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. The encoded protein functions as a chloride channel, making it unique among members of this protein family, and controls ion and water secretion and absorption in epithelial tissues. Channel activation is mediated by cycles of regulatory domain phosphorylation, ATP-binding by the nucleotide-binding domains, and ATP hydrolysis. Mutations in this gene cause cystic fibrosis, the most common lethal genetic disorder in populations of Northern European descent. The most frequently occurring mutation in cystic fibrosis, DeltaF508, results in impaired folding and trafficking of the encoded protein. Multiple pseudogenes have been identified in the human genome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.048390727 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.1, offset of 4, new splice context is: ttttccccttttgtgggaAGtca. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 7-117530897-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-117530897-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 53556.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr7-117530897-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 28, 2024	The c.274-2A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 4 in the CFTR gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to result in aberrant splicing. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site. The resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay; however, direct evidence is unavailable. The exact functional effect of the altered amino acid sequence is unknown; however, the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). Designated 406-2 A to G, this variant was detected as homozygous in a 20-month-old child with CF diagnosed at birth due to meconium ileus and since diagnosed with pancreatic insufficiency and failure to thrive (el-Harith EA et al. J Med Genet, 1997 Dec;34:996-9). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 16, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53556). This variant is also known as 406-2A>G. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 9429141). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 3 of the CFTR gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in CFTR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1695717, 7691345, 9725922). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	Feb 23, 2023	The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. This variant was predicted to alter splicing and result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function. Multiple pathogenic loss-of-function variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported multiple times as an established pathogenic variant (ClinVar ID: VCV000053556). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 12, 2024	Variant summary: CFTR c.274-2A>G is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing and loss of CFTR function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Five predict the variant abolishes a 3 acceptor site. Two predict the variant creates a 3 acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 250598 control chromosomes. c.274-2A>G has been reported in the literature and in our internal database in multiple homozygous individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (el-Harith 1997, Panickar 2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53556). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
