Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong

The NM_000492.4(CFTR):​c.1736A>C​(p.Asp579Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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. D579G) has been classified as 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 Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain ABC transporter 1 (size 223) in uniprot entity CFTR_HUMAN there are 54 pathogenic changes around while only 9 benign (86%) 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 chr7-117590409-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.993

Variant summary: CFTR c.1736A>C (p.Asp579Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter-like, ATP-binding domain (IPR003439) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250214 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1736A>C in individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported in the literature, although the CFTR Locus-specific database reports a patient who had the variant in trans with a pathogenic variant. Another missense change affecting this amino acid has been determined to be pathogenic, suggesting this is a functionally important residue. No submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
