Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3

The NM_000492.4(CFTR):c.941G>C(p.Gly314Ala) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,461,744 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G314E) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 10 uncertain in NM_000492.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-117540171-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2691472.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.801

Cystic fibrosis Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jan 06, 2022	The p.G314A variant (also known as c.941G>C), located in coding exon 8 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 941. The glycine at codon 314 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. The G314 position is located in the fifth putative hydrophobic transmembrane domain of the CFTR protein. Other substitutions affecting the same codon, p.G314R and p.G314E, have been reported in individuals with cystic fibrosis or CFTR-related disorders; however, the clinical significance of these findings is unclear (Nasr SZ et al. Hum Mutat, 1996;7:151-4; Golla A et al. Hum Mutat, 1994;3:67-8). A functional study found this variant reduced the sensitivity of the chloride channel to activation (Mansoura MK et al. Biophys. J. 1998; 74:1320-32). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species; however, alanine is the reference amino acid in other 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 variant remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Aug 30, 2021	This sequence change replaces glycine with alanine at codon 314 of the CFTR protein (p.Gly314Ala). The glycine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glycine and alanine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 15371908). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. This variant disrupts the p.Gly314 amino acid residue in CFTR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CFTR-related conditions (PMID: 7509684, 8829633), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
