Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_000492.4(CFTR):​c.3257C>T​(p.Thr1086Ile) 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T1086A) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 20 uncertain in NM_000492.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 197 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 46 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -3.1397 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -1.0868 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hereditary chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.977
• PP5: Variant 7-117611698-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-117611698-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 53694.

Variant summary: CFTR c.3257C>T (p.Thr1086Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251126 control chromosomes. c.3257C>T has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual affected with Cystic Fibrosis, who carries a second pathogenic CFTR variant (example: Alibakhshi_2008). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately 5.66% 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: 17662673, 38388235, 36796836, 10923036, 27086061). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53694). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
