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]

The p.S158N variant (also known as c.473G>A and c.605G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 473. The serine at codon 158 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was reported along with p.F508del in the compound heterozygous state in an individual with chronic cough, sweat chloride level of 64 mmol/L and pancreatic insufficiency (Sharma N et al. Ann Hum Genet, 2009 Jan;73:26-33). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 158 of the CFTR protein (p.Ser158Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs397508725, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of cystic fibrosis (PMID: 30760291; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as c.605G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 618959). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CFTR protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CFTR c.473G>A (p.Ser158Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.2e-05 in 249072 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CFTR causing Cystic Fibrosis (7.2e-05 vs 0.013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.473G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis, including at least one compound heterozygous and one homozygous occurrence (e.g. Hicks_2003, Sharma_2009, Najafi_2019, da Silva Filho_2021, Zampoli_2021, Vaidyanathan_2022, Varkki_2024, Labcorp (formerly Invitae)). However, the variant has also been reported to co-occur in cis with a known pathogenic variant in a CF patient (Hicks_2003). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately 12.97% of normal chloride channel conductance relative to wild type (e.g., Bihler_2024). This variant is also known as c.605G>A. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 38388235, 12820707, 20551465, 24440239, 30760291, 18782298, 35857025, 38966678, 34350279, 32819855). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 618959). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The missense variant p.S158N in CFTR (NM_000492.4) has been reported previously in both trans (Sharma N et al) and in cis with a delta F508 where another variant in trans was not detected (Hicks K et al). The missense variant c.473G>A (p.S158N) in CFTR (NM_000492.4) is observed in 18/30330 (0.0593%) alleles from individuals of South Asian background in the gnomAD dataset (Exome Aggregation Consortium et al., 2016), but was not seen in the homozygous state. The p.S158N missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The serine residue at codon 158 of CFTR is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.473 in CFTR is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. Since it has been detected in cis with deltaF508 variant in one patient, it's independent pathogenic potential is unclear and hence has been classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS). -

The CFTR c.473G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser158Asn. This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in an individual with cystic fibrosis and in the homozygous state in an individual with failure to thrive, delayed growth, muscle weakness, dehydration and polyuria (Sharma N et al 2008. PubMed ID: 18782298; Najafi M et al 2019. PubMed ID: 30760291). This variant has been reported in cis with the p.Phe508del pathogenic variant in an unaffected sibling of an individual with cystic fibrosis, in whom a second variant was not found (Hicks K et al 2003. PubMed ID: 12820707). This variant has also been reported in the heterozygous state in an individual with chronic pancreatitis ( Supplementary Table 1, Midha S et al 2010. PubMed ID: 20551465). This variant is not present in the CFTR2 database and to our knowledge, no functional studies are available in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.059% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/7-117171152-G-A). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

The missense c.473G>A (p.Ser158Asn) variant in the CFTR gene has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of cystic fibrosis (Najafi, Maryam et al., 2019). The variant has been reported previously in both trans (Sharma N et al, 2009) and in cis with a delta F508 where another variant in trans was not detected (Hicks K et al, 2003). This variant is reported with the allele frequency (0.007%) in the gnomAD Exomes. It is submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic/Uncertain Significance (multiple submissions). The amino acid Serine at position 158 is changed to a Asparagine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The serine residue at codon 158 of CFTR is conserved in all mammalian species. The amino acid change p.Ser158Asn in CFTR is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. Since it has been detected in cis with deltaF508 variant in one patient, it's independent pathogenic potential is unclear and hence has been classified as Uncertain Significance. -
