Cystic fibrosis    Pathogenic:2Uncertain:1 
The p.V938G variant (also known as c.2813T>G), located in coding exon 17 of the CFTR gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 2813. The valine at codon 938 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was identified in two individuals; one individual was homozygous and presented with congenital unilateral absence of the vas deferens (CUAVD) and asthma bronchiale. The other individual was heterozygous for this variant as well as a frameshift alteration and presented with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) and a borderline sweat chloride level; the phase of these alterations was not provided (Dörk T et al. Hum. Genet. 1997 Sep; 100(3-4):365-77). In another study, this variant was observed in one individual with CBAVD and a gross deletion (Ratbi I et al. Hum. Reprod. 2007 May;22(5):1285-91). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 938 of the CFTR protein (p.Val938Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs193922511, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis, unilateral congenital absence of the vas deferens, or bilateral absence of the vas deferens (PMID: 9272157, 17329263, 28603918). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 35850). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae 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.Val938 amino acid residue in CFTR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CFTR-related conditions (PMID: 9272157, 17329263, 28603918, 32777524, 36437957), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

CFTR-related disorder    Pathogenic:2 
The CFTR c.2813T>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val938Gly. This variant was reported in multiple individuals with congenital absence of vas deferens (CAVD) (Doerk et al 1997. PubMed ID: 9272157; Ratbi et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17329263). It has also been reported along with a second pathogenic CFTR variant in a study of male patients with fertility problems (Rudnik-Schöneborn et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33374015), an individual with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (Sofia et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27264265), an individual with abnormal newborn screening results for cystic fibrosis (Bozdogan et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33572515), and along with the p.Phe508del variant in an individual with pancreatic sufficient cystic fibrosis (De Wachter et al 2017. PubMed ID: 28830496). Alternate substitutions of the same amino acid (p.Val938Leu) have been reported in individuals with CAVD (Luo et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32777524; Table S1, Fang et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36437957). An experimental study suggests the p.Vla938Gly substitution impacts protein function (Table S1, Bihler et al. 2024. PubMed ID: 38388235). This variant is reported in 0.0035% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Taken together, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Congenital bilateral aplasia of vas deferens from CFTR mutation    Pathogenic:1 
Variant summary: CFTR c.2813T>G (p.Val938Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251512 control chromosomes, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic CFTR variant causing CF/CFTR-RD/CBAVD. c.2813T>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Congenital Absence of the Vas Deferens (CBAVD and CUAVD)/infertility, once in a homozygous state, and others in a compound heterozygous state with other pathogenic CFTR variants (e.g., Dork_1997, Marcelli_2006, Robin_2007, Ratbi_2007, Rudnik-Schoneborn_2021). Because CBAVD/CUAVD is often found in patients with either one severe and one mildly pathogenic variant or two mildly pathogenic variants, the presence of this variant in CBAVD/CUAVD patients in trans with severe variants suggests that the variant may be a "mild" variant that contributes to CFTR-related disease. This variant has also been reported in patients screened for cystic fibrosis, idiopathic pancreatitis and other CFTR-related diseases, however not in well phenotyped cases of classic cystic fibrosis associated with pancreatic/pulmonary insufficiency (e.g., Sands_2015, Sofia_2016, De Wachter_2017, Bozdogan_2021, Nykamp_2021). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that the variant results in approximately 35% of normal chloride channel conductance relative to wild type (e.g., Bihler_2023). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33572515, 28830496, 18685558, 20059485, 9272157, 17175965, 34196078, 17329263, 17507277, 33374015, 26003066, 31674704, 27264265, 10755189, 26277102, 38388235). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 35850). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
