This sequence change falls in intron 17 of the CFTR gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CFTR protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs397508455, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (PMID: 15070876, 23381846). This variant is also known as c.3041+15T>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53592). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 16 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 23381846). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. 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. -
The c.2909-15T>G intronic variant results from a T to G substitution 15 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 18 in the CFTR gene. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state in a male with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (Dayangaç D et al. Hum Reprod, 2004 May;19:1094-100). It has also been reported in conjunction with a pathogenic CFTR variant in two children; however, only one of the children had features consistent with cystic fibrosis (Ooi CY et al. Pediatrics, 2015 Jun;135:e1377-85; Gonska T et al. Pediatrics, 2021 Dec;148:). RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in skipping of exon 18 (Raynal C et al. Hum Mutat, 2013 May;34:774-84). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This variant was identified in 2 unrelated patients with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The variant was classified in the context of a project re-classifying variants in the German Cystic Fibrosis Registry (Muko.e.V.).

Variant summary: CFTR c.2909-15T>G, also reported as 3041-15T>G, alters a conserved nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant results in skipping of exon 18 in a minigene using a human bronchial cell in vitro assay, leading to predicted nonsense mediated decay (example, Raynal_2013). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250448 control chromosomes. c.2909-15T>G has been reported in the literature in the presumed compound heterozygous or homozygous state in multiple individuals affected with clinical features of Cystic Fibrosis or CF-related conditions (example, Baker_2015, Girardet_2007, Atag_2019, Erodan_2021, Ooi_2015, Gonska_2021, Dayangac_2004). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30938940, 25674778, 15070876, 34860163, 17850636, 34814176, 22483971, 25963003, 23381846, 23378595). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53592). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
