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]

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 99 of the CFTR protein (p.Pro99Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs397508467, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 11732487, 14872121). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53610). 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 expected to disrupt CFTR protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CFTR function (PMID: 8663008, 29805046). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: CFTR c.296C>T (p.Pro99Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251082 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.296C>T has been observed in multiple individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (e.g. Amaral_2001, Gilljam_2004, McCague_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately 3.9% of normal chloride channel conductance relative to wild type (e.g., Bihler_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11732487, 14872121, 38388235, 30888834). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53610). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
