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]

The c.3371_3373delAAG variant (also known as p.E1124del) is located in coding exon 21 of the CFTR gene. This variant results from an in-frame AAG deletion at nucleotide positions 3371 to 3373. This results in the in-frame deletion of a glutamic acid at codon 1124. This variant was first reported in a homozygous Pakistani male with congenital absence of the vas deferens, pancreatitis, and normal sweat chloride levels (Conway SP et al. Pediatr. Pulmonol., 2002 Dec;34:491-5). It was also identified in the homozygous state in another Pakistani individual with cystic fibrosis, elevated immunoreactive trypsinogen, and a borderline sweat chloride level (Lim MT et al. Arch. Dis. Child., 2014 Mar;99:197-202). In an individual with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis, this variant was identified with CFTR p.F508del and SPINK1 p.N34S (Masson E et al. PLoS One, 2013 Aug;8:e73522). In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: CFTR c.3371_3373delAAG (p.Glu1124del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove one amino acid from the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250910 control chromosomes. c.3371_3373delAAG has been observed in a homozygous individual affected with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens and chronic pancreatitis (Conway_2002), in the compound heterozygous state together with F508del in a patient affected with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (Masson_2013), and has been reported in at least 2 alleles in a UK Cystic Fibrosis patient registry, without further genotype information provided (Vaidyanathan_2022). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. 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: 18687795, 12422349, 23951356, 35857025). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53728). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
