Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 5P and 2B. PM1 PM2 PP2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_000492.4(CFTR):​c.2861A>G​(p.His954Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,738 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H954Y) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 15 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.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.26043147).

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.H954R variant (also known as c.2861A>G), located in coding exon 17 of the CFTR gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2861. The histidine at codon 954 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species, and arginine is the reference amino acid in other 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. -
