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 inherited c.1624G>T (p.Gly542Ter) stop-gained variant identified in exon 12 (of 27) of the CFTR gene has been reported in multiple affected individuals in the literature and is recognized as a disease-causing variant (PMID: 15371902, 23974870, CFTR2 database: https://cftr2.org). The variant creates a premature translation termination codon and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Predicted loss-of-function variants in CFTR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1695717, PMID: 12940920). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as Pathogenic by multiple independent laboratories [Variation ID:7115]. Based on the available evidence, the inherited c.1624G>T (p.Gly542Ter) stop-gained variant identified in the CFTR gene is reported as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly542*) in the CFTR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CFTR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1695717, 7691345, 9725922). This variant is present in population databases (rs113993959, gnomAD 0.1%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 15371902, 23974870). This variant is also known as G542X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7115). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CFTR c.1624G>T (p.Gly542X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00034 in 250908 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1624G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (e.g. McKone_2003, Sosnay_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Sixteen ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The CFTR c.1624G>T; p.Gly542Ter variant (rs113993959) has been reported in multiple cystic fibrosis patients, associated with pancreatic insufficiency (Kerem 1990, Castaldo 1997, Loirat 1997, Hirtz 2004, Ooi 2012, Sosnay 2013, CFTR2 database). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 7115), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.03% (91/282312 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: CFTR2 database: http://cftr2.org/ Castaldo G et al.

The CFTR c.1624G>T (p.Gly542Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Gly542Ter variant, a well-described pathogenic variant, is reported at a frequency of 2.64% among a pan-ethnic population clinically diagnosed with CFTR-related disorders, and recognised as the second most common pathogenic variant after p.Phe508del (Watson et al. 2004). The p.Gly542Ter variant is one of the 23 pathogenic variants recommended by the ACMG for general population cystic fibrosis carrier screening. Across a selection of the available literature, the p.Gly542Ter variant was identified in at least 40 individuals with cystic fibrosis, including five unrelated individuals in a homozygous state, 11 unrelated individuals in a compound heterozygous state, and 24 individuals in a heterozygous state (de Gracia et al. 2005; Chavez-Saldana et al. 2010). Five of the compound heterozygotes carried p.Phe508del on the second allele (de Gracia et al. 2005). Control data were unavailable for this variant in these studies but it is reported at a frequency of 0.001860 in the European American population of the Exome Sequencing Project. Based on the evidence and the potential impact of stop-gained variants, the p.Gly542Ter variant is classified as pathogenic for CFTR-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

The p.G542* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1624G>T and 1756G>T), located in coding exon 12 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1624. This changes the amino acid from a glycine to a stop codon within coding exon 12. This mutation, in conjunction with p.F508del, was detected in individuals with pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis; it was also identified in conjunction with p.R117H in one individual with pancreatic sufficient cystic fibrosis (Kristidis P et al. Am J Hum Genet. 1992;50(6):1178-1184). This mutation is associated with decreased lung function, elevated sweat chloride levels, and pancreatic insufficiency (Sosnay PR et al. Nat Genet. 2013;45(10):1160-1167). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

The CFTR c.1624G>T (p.Gly542*) variant causes the premature termination of CFTR protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with cystic fibrosis (CF) and CFTR-related disorders (PMIDs: 1723032 (1991),1757966 (1991), 7517267 (1994), 7545856 (1995), 7681035 (1993), 10639207 (2000), 10963013 (1999), 11280952 (2001), 12767731 (2003), 15371902 (2004), 14586256 (2003), 15994263 (2005), 18078365 (2008), 18456578 (2008), 20021716 (2009), 21228398 (2011), 21416780 (2010), 21520337 (2011), 21679131 (2011), 21976147 (2011), 22020151 (2012), 22658665 (2012), 23751316 (2013), 23951356 (2013), 30602999 (2018), 31523618 (2019), 32429104 (2020), and 35131845 (2022)). A functional study has shown that this variant abrogates CFTR chloride channel activity (PMID: 7522901 (1993)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0014 (15/10362 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
