The NM_000492.4(CFTR):c.890_891delGGinsAA (p.Arg297Gln) variant causes a missense change. The gene CFTR is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 18 TSG, 1 driver citations). The gene CFTR is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 18 TSG, 1 driver citations). Note: allele frequency estimates from gnomAD may be inaccurate for this variant type (MNP or indel longer than 3 bp) due to technology limitations. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.R297Q: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 54082); p.R297= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1765115, 1 star); p.R297= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 4843833, 1 star); p.R297W: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 54080, 2 stars) This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database 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]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	B2Does not fit gene mode of action		Activating variant in tumor suppressor gene + same AA change classified germline Benign/Likely Benign — supporting benign evidence (B2, no cancer-type context); Activating variant in tumor suppressor gene + same AA change classified germline Benign/Likely Benign — supporting benign evidence (B2, no cancer-type context)
