Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Dec 04, 2023 | This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 178 of the CFTR protein (p.Gly178Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs80282562, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 1710599, 15638824, 23974870, 29133775). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 48692). 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: 9305991). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Apr 19, 2023 | The p.G178R pathogenic mutation (also known as c.532G>A and 664G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 532. The glycine at codon 178 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This mutation was originally described in a Canadian family with cystic fibrosis (Zielenski J et al, Genomics 1991 May; 10(1):229-35). Subsequently, a homozygous p.G178R mutation was identified in a French individual with cystic fibrosis (Claustres M et al, Hum. Mutat. 2000; 16(2):143-56). In addition, this pathogenic mutation was found in 50 individuals with cystic fibrosis and was associated with high sweat chloride levels and pancreatic insufficiency (Sosnay PR et al, Nat. Genet. 2013 Oct; 45(10):1160-7). In vitro functional studies showed that G178R mutant protein is processed and matures normally, but has reduced chloride channel activity (Seibert FS et al, Biochemistry 1997 Sep; 36(39):11966-74; Sosnay PR et al, Nat. Genet. 2013 Oct; 45(10):1160-7). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as a pathogenic mutation. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Oct 24, 2022 | Variant summary: CFTR c.532G>A (p.Gly178Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, transmembrane domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. One computational tool predict the variant creates a 3' acceptor site. Consistent with this prediction, one functional study showed that this variant led to a significant skipping of exon 5 (Raynal_2013). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 168188 control chromosomes. c.532G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (Zielenski_1991, Cremonesi_1992, Heim_2001, Sugarman_2004, Ooi_2012, Sosnay_2013, DeBoeck_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Seibert_1997, Choi_2001, Yu_2012, Sosnay_2013). The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity. Eleven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Myriad Genetics, Inc. | Dec 04, 2019 | NM_000492.3(CFTR):c.532G>A(G178R) is classified as pathogenic in the context of cystic fibrosis and is associated with classic disease. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 18456578, 9305991, 23381846 and 23974870. Classification of NM_000492.3(CFTR):c.532G>A(G178R) is based on the following criteria: This is a well-established pathogenic variant in the literature that has been observed more frequently in patients with clinical diagnoses than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. - |
