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 L997F variant in the CFTR gene has been reported previously in trans with another pathogenic CFTR variant in individuals with cystic fibrosis and atypical cystic fibrosis, as well as in asymptomatic individuals (Lucarelli et al., 2010; Strom et al., 2011; Schippa et al., 2013). It has been suggested that the presence of the R117L variant in cis with L997F as a complex allele may in part explain the variable phenotype observed in individuals with the L997F variant (Lucarelli et al., 2010). The L997F variant is observed in 59/10,146 (0.58%) alleles from individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish background in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The L997F variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. Functional studies demonstrated that the L997F variant was associated with somewhat reduced chloride transport (VanGoor et al., 2014). We interpret L997F as a variant of uncertain significance.

The CFTR c.2991G>C (p.Leu997Phe) variant (also known as L997F) has been reported with other CFTR variants in the published literature in individuals affected with cystic fibrosis (PMIDs: 1379210 (1992), 9921909 (1998), 17572159 (2008), 20706124 (2010), 21804385 (2011), 23613805 (2013), 27738188 (2016), 38265526 (2024)) and CFTR-related disorders including pancreatitis (PMIDs: 10801389 (2000), 18501000 (2008), 20460946 (2010), 23951356 (2013), 29589582 (2018), 37389024 (2023)), bronchiectasis (PMID: 9921909 (1998)), and congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) (PMIDs: 9272157 (1997), 10875853 (2000), 26911355 (2016), 36446526 (2023)). This variant was also found to occur as part of a complex allele p.[R117L; L997F] and is often associated with a more severe phenotype in individuals with cystic fibrosis (PMIDs: 20706124 (2010), 25910067 (2015), 27738188 (2016)). This variant has also been reported in homozygous and compound heterozygous asymptomatic individuals (PMIDs: 12014388 (2002), 15857421 (2005), 20706124 (2010), 36238659 (2022) and CFTR France (https://cftr.iurc.montp.inserm.fr/cftr/)). Functional studies indicated that this variant causes significantly reduced chloride conductance to approximately 22% of the wild type that increases to 71% with ivacaftor treatment (PMIDs: 23974870 (2013), 23891399 (2014), 27738188 (2016), 34761808 (2021)) and reduces bicarbonate conductance (PMID: 25033378 (2014)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0099 (115/11590 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

The CFTR c.2991G>C; p.Leu997Phe variant (rs1800111) has been identified in multiple individuals diagnosed with CFTR-related disorders (Bergougnoux 2015, Gallati 2009, Gomez-Lira 2000, Hamoir 2013, Lucarelli 2010, Masson 2013, Pelletier 2010), but case control studies disagree if this variant is enriched in pancreatitis patients (LaRusch 2014, Gomez-Lira 2000). In addition, individuals homozygous for this variant have been reported to be clinically asymptomatic (Derichs 2005, Stanke 2008, Terlizzi 2017). Functional characterization of the variant protein indicates a reduction in the CFTR chloride transport activity (Bergougnoux 2015, Sosnay 2013, Van Goor 2014), but at a level unlikely to cause cystic fibrosis (Sosnay 2013, Strom 2011). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 7229) and is observed in the general population at a frequency of 0.22% (627/282,204 alleles, including 3 homozygotes) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.625). Due to the conflicting information regarding this variant, its clinical significance cannot be determined with certainty. References: Bergougnoux A et al.

The p.L997F variant (also known as c.2991G>C), located in coding exon 19 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 2991. The leucine at codon 997 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration is known to occur in isolation or as part of a complex allele, p.[R117L;L997F], and it is associated with a range of clinical outcomes (Stanke F et al. J. Med. Genet., 2008 Jan;45:47-54; Lucarelli M et al. Genet Med, 2010 Sep;12:548-55; Strom CM et al. Genet Med, 2011 Dec;13:1042-4; Lucarelli M et al. Mol Med, 2015 Apr;21:257-75; Terlizzi V et al. J. Med. Genet., 2017 04;54:224-235). Some individuals homozygous for p.L997F or compound heterozygous with a second CFTR mutation were reported to be asymptomatic, whereas others had intermediate sweat chloride levels and exhibited CFTR-related disorders, including congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens, pancreatitis, and bronchiectasis. In contrast, the p.[R117L;L997F] complex allele is associated with a more severe phenotype and has been described in multiple homozygous or compound heterozygous individuals with elevated sweat chloride level and cystic fibrosis. In functional studies, p.R117L was shown to retain normal CFTR maturation/processing, but result in approximately 20% of wild-type CFTR function (Sosnay PR et al. Nat Genet, 2013 Oct;45:1160-7; Van Goor F et al. J. Cyst. Fibros., 2014 Jan;13:29-36). 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 available evidence to date, this variant is unlikely to be causative of classic cystic fibrosis when it occurs in isolation; however, its contribution to the development of a CFTR-related disorder is uncertain. This alteration is thus classified as a variant of unknown significance.

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.

Variant summary: CFTR c.2991G>C (p.Leu997Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, transmembrane domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0024 in 254424 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in CFTR causing Cystic Fibrosis (0.0024 vs 0.013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2991G>C has been reported in the literature in patients with a wide range of atypical CFTR-related phenotypes such as bronchiectasis, pancreatitis, hypertrypsinemia, asthma, renal agenesis without a strong evidence of causality (example, Lebecque_2011, Tzetis_2001, Casals_2000, Padoan_2002); it is also found in ~ 1% of normal alleles from various studies. Of note, two homozygote individuals, one completely unaffected (Derichs_2005) and one only affected with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) (Lebecque_2011) have been reported. The variant has also been found to be in cis with other CFTR deleterious variants such as deltaF508 (Fanen_1992), a large deletion spanning exons 2-9 of the CFTR gene (Schneider_2007, Strom_2011) and with R117L (Lucarelli_2010, classified as likely pathogenic) in CF patients supporting a benign outcome. Lastly, the variant has also been reported as having been co-inherited with a disease causing deletion spanning the entire SPINK1 gene in one family segregating with chronic pancreatitis (Masson_2007, cited in Bombieri_2011) supporting an alternative molecular basis of disease. These data indicate that the variant is unlikely to be associated with CF or any of its related variably expressive disease phenotypes. Reputed databases such as CFTR2 cite this variant as not disease causing (Sosnay_2013). In addition, functional studies suggest the variant could play a role in bicarbonate permeability relevant to organs in which CFTR is used for bicarbonate secretion (LaRush_2014) and has significantly reduced chloride conductance (Van Goor_2013), however the in vivo impact of these functional defects are unknown. Twelve clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments, at-least two other submitters report a benign/likely benign outcome. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant in isolation was classified as benign for CF and associated phenotypes.
