Cystic fibrosis Uncertain:4
This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1375 of the CFTR protein (p.His1375Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs146947665, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with chronic pancreatitis, CFTR-related metabolic syndrome and/or cystic fibrosis (PMID: 19202204, 23810505, 31740593). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53894). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CFTR protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.His1375 amino acid residue in CFTR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 25910067). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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 p.H1375N variant (also known as c.4123C>A), located in coding exon 25 of the CFTR gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 4123. The histidine at codon 1375 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in an adult with pancreatic insufficiency and chronic pancreatitis in conjunction with p.F508del; however, the phase was uncertain (Kolesár P et al. Gen. Physiol. Biophys., 2008 Dec;27:299-305). This variant was also reported in a Slovak cystic fibrosis cohort; however, specific genotype and phenotype information was not provided (Soltysova A et al. Clin Respir J, 2018 Mar;12:1197-1206). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The CFTR c.4123C>A; p.His1375Asn variant (rs146947665), is reported in the literature in individuals affected with chronic pancreatitis (Kolesar 2008) or CFTR-related metabolic syndrome (Prach 2013), who also carry the common F508del pathogenic variant on the opposite chromosome. This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 53894) and is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.016% (20/128962 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The histidine at codon 1375 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.304). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.His1375Asn variant is uncertain at this time. References: Kolesar P et al.

The CFTR c.4123C>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.His1375Asn. This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state with the p.Phe508del variant in a patient with chronic pancreatitis without lung disease (Kolesár et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 19202204). This variant has also been identified in the compound heterozygous state with the p.Phe508del variant in patient with CFTR-related metabolic syndrome (Patient 24 in Table 2, Prach et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23810505), and in a patient with cystic fibrosis from a Slovakian cohort study (Soltysova et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28544683). This variant has been interpreted by multiple labs in ClinVar as uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/53894/). Although we suspect this variant could be pathogenic, at this time, its clinical significance is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic information. -

Variant summary: CFTR c.4123C>A (p.His1375Asn) results in a 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 are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.6e-05 in 251216 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CFTR causing Cystic Fibrosis (7.6e-05 vs 0.013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.4123C>A has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Cystic Fibrosis (e.g, Zhou_2019), in a pancreatic insufficient individual with chronic pancreatitis but no respiratory involvement (e.g., Kolesar_2008), and an individual diagnosed with CFTR-related metabolic syndrome with normal sweat chloride levels (e.g., Prach_2013); the F508del allele was identified as the second CFTR variant in all of these individuals. These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. A different variant affecting the same codon has been classified as pathogenic by our lab (c.4124A>C, p.His1375Pro), supporting the critical relevance of codon 1375 to CFTR protein function. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately (Gt channel conductance) 73% 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: 38388235, 19202204, 23810505, 34996830, 36409994, 28544683, 31740593). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53894). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
