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]

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Variant summary: CFTR c.-4G>C is located in the untranslated mRNA region upstream of the initiation codon. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.6e-05 in 251160 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.-4G>C has been reported in CF patients who had F508del on the other chromosome (e.g. Zielenski_1991, Hadd_2004). Sickkids database references the variant in strong association with R117H. The variant was reportedly identified in cis with T5, R117H and R117H-T5 complex alleles (Hadd_2004; Lucarelli_2012; Regan_2015). Internal data support this observation with the variant being identified with R117H or R117H and T5 variants in the vast majority of tested samples. c.-4G>C has been reported to co-occur with two other pathogenic variants in multiple samples (data from internal testing and ClinVar). Lastly, the variant of interest has been described as polymorphism in published reports (e.g. Miller_1996). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 1710599, 8659542, 15507674, 25739099, 26436105, 32483343). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53157). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
