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 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.022507316 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.8, offset of 39, new splice context is: tggtattatcctgactttAGcca. Cryptic site results in inframe change.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jun 26, 2017	The c.3368-2A>G intronic pathogenic mutation (also known as 3500-2A>G) results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 21 in the CFTR gene. This pathogenic mutation was identified in conjunction with p.N1303K in an individual with elevated sweat chloride levels and pancreatic insufficiency (Keyeux G et al. Hum. Mutat., 2003 Sep;22:259). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 11, 2023	This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 20 of the CFTR gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in CFTR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1695717, 7691345, 9725922). This variant is present in population databases (rs755416052, gnomAD 0.003%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 16963320, 23974870, 26708955). This variant is also known as c.3500-2A>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188783). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CFTR c.3368-2A>G is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Five predict the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 245656 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3368-2A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (Dankert-Roelse_2018, Kharrazi_2015, Sontag_2009, Kammesheidt_2006, Keyeux_2003, ). A ClinVar submission from a reputable database, CFTR2 (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
