NM_000492.4:c.2812G>C
Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1PM5PP2PP3_Moderate
The NM_000492.4(CFTR):c.2812G>C(p.Val938Leu) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000496 in 1,613,936 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V938G) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces valine with leucine at codon 938 of the CFTR protein (p.Val938Leu). The valine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between valine and leucine. This variant is present in population databases (rs749784731, ExAC 0.009%) but has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a CFTR-related disease. 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 tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. In summary, this variant is a rare missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function. There is no indication that it causes disease, but the available evidence is currently insufficient to prove that conclusively. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.V938L variant (also known as c.2812G>C), located in coding exon 17 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 2812. The valine at codon 938 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The CFTR c.2812G>C (p.Val938Leu) variant, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported in the published literature. A different variant causing the same amino acid substitution, c.2812G>T (p.Val938Leu), has been reported in individuals with CBAVD (congenital absence of the vas deferens) (PMID: 32777524 (2021)), and in an infant with cystic fibrosis (CF) who carried a CF-causing variant on the opposite chromosome (PMIDs: 37477516 (2023), 35858753 (2022)). The frequency of the c.2812G>C (p.Val938Leu) variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/251402 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
