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: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 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, 18 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.

Variant summary: CFTR c.4115C>T (p.Pro1372Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter-like, ATP-binding domain (IPR003439) of the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251256 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4115C>T has been reported in the literature in an individual who underwent testing for Cystic Fibrosis without a specified phenotype and without a second CFTR variant identified (Schrijver_2005). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cystic Fibrosis. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 15858154). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53893). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.P1372L variant (also known as c.4115C>T), located in coding exon 25 of the CFTR gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4115. The proline at codon 1372 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been detected once in a cohort of individuals with clinical manifestations consistent with cystic fibrosis (CF); however, specific phenotypic information was not provided and authors did not identify a second alteration (Schrijver I et al. J Mol Diagn, 2005 May;7:289-99). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline with leucine at codon 1372 of the CFTR protein (p.Pro1372Leu). The proline residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and leucine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of CFTR-related conditions (PMID: 15858154). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53893). 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. -
