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: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 7 of the CFTR gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CFTR protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 19759008, 21783433). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54075). Studies have shown that this variant alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 19759008). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.870-1110_870-1113delGAAT intronic variant, located in intron 7 of the CFTR gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides within intron 7 of the CFTR gene. Two studies evaluating mRNA from patients' nasal epithelial cells revealed the inclusion of 97 base pairs of intron 7 sequence between exons 7 and 8 (Faà V et al. J. Biol. Chem., 2009 Oct;284:30024-31; Costa C et al. J. Cyst. Fibros., 2011 Dec;10:479-82). A minigene assay of wild-type and mutant constructs further demonstrated that this deletion abolished the binding site for hnRNPA2/B1 and created a binding site for SRp75 splicing factor (Faà V et al. J. Biol. Chem., 2009 Oct;284:30024-31). Multiple patients, mostly of Italian or French origin, have been described to be heterozygous for this alteration and a second pathogenic mutation; methods for phasing (cis vs. trans) were not described. Reported phenotypes and age at diagnosis have varied, but are most consistent with classic cystic fibrosis (Faà V et al. J. Biol. Chem., 2009 Oct;284:30024-31; Costa C et al. J. Cyst. Fibros., 2011 Dec;10:479-82). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
