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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.019581364 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 11, offset of 2, new splice context is: tttccattttctttttacAGcag. 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
• PP5: Variant 7-117590352-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-117590352-G-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 550047.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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: 550047). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 16786510, 27086061). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 12 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).

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1680-1G>C intronic variant results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 13 of the CFTR gene. Another alteration impacting the same acceptor site (c.1680-1G>A) has been detected in multiple individuals with cystic fibrosis (Sosnay PR, Nat. Genet. 2013 Oct; 45(10):1160-7; Schrijver I et al. J Mol Diagn, 2016 Jan;18:39-50). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified a disease-causing mutation.
