Cystic fibrosis Pathogenic:2Uncertain:3Other:1
The p.H949L variant (also known as c.2846A>T), located in coding exon 17 of the CFTR gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 2846. The histidine at codon 949 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was detected in an individual with atypical cystic fibrosis (CF), whose symptoms included sinus problems and inconclusive sweat test results (McGinniss MJ et al. Hum. Genet., 2005 Dec;118:331-8). This variant was also reported as part of a complex allele [H939R;H949L] in five individuals from an Italian CF cohort, all of whom had another CFTR variant identified as in trans; four of the cases had classic CF phenotypes, and one had CFTR-related disease (Polizzi A et al. Genet. Mol. Biol., 2011 Jul;34:416-20). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
Variant summary: CFTR c.2846A>T (p.His949Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251382 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2846A>T has been reported in the literature in at least one individual with atypical CF and equivocal sweat chloride levels (e.g., McGinniss_2005). It has also been reported as a complex allele in cis with p.H939R and another disease causing CF variant in trans (i.e., compound heterozygous genotype) in patients with CF (at least four ascertainments) and CFTR-RD (at least one ascertainment) (e.g., Polizzi_2011, Diana_2016, Paganin_2015). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately 8% of normal chloride channel conductance relative to wild type (e.g., Bihler_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 38388235, 26911355, 16189704, 25898134, 21931512). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53578). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 949 of the CFTR protein (p.His949Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs397508444, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of cystic fibrosis (PMID: 16189704, 21931512). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53578). 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 disruptive. 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. -
CFTR c.2846A>T has been identified an individual with an equivocal sweat chloride concentration. There is an entry in ClinVar for this variant and it (rs397508444) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD: 5/282786 total alleles; 0.0018%; no homozygotes). Three bioinformatic tools queried predict that this substitution would probably be damaging and the histidine residue at this position is evolutionarily conserved across all species assessed. c.2846A>T has been reported as part of a complex allele on the same chromosome as c.2816A>G in multiple individuals. This patient does not carry this complex allele, as only c.2846A>T is present. Due to insufficient evidence, we consider the clinical significance of c.2846C>T to be uncertain at this time. -
