This sequence change affects codon 1156 of the CFTR mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CFTR protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 21, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with CFTR-related conditions (PMID: 10923036). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53750). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Variant summary: CFTR c.3468G>A (p.Leu1156Leu) alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant weakens a 5' donor site and one predicts the variant abolishes a 5 splicing donor site. Experimental evidence supports these predictions indicating that the variant causes exon-skipping leading to premature termination and truncation of CFTR (Zielendki_1994). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250770 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3468G>A has been reported in the literature in compound heterozygous individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (e.g. Claustres_2000, Zielendki_1994) while it was also reported in homozygous individuals affected with CBAVD and pancreatitis (e.g. Claustres_2017 & CFTR-France online database). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Five ClinVar submitters including an expert panel (CFTR2) (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The c.3468G>A pathogenic mutation (also known as p.L1156L) is located in coding exon 21 of the CFTR gene. This variant results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3468. This nucleotide substitution does not change the amino acid at codon 1156. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 21, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This variant has been detected in multiple individuals with cystic fibrosis in conjunction with a pathogenic mutation in CFTR by our laboratory. In one individual, this variant was confirmed to be in trans with a pathogenic mutation. In addition, this mutation (also referred to as 3600G>A) has been reported in patients with cystic fibrosis (Claustres M et al. Hum. Mutat., 2000;16:143-56; Lim MT et al. Arch. Dis. Child., 2014 Mar;99:197-202). In an expression mini-gene assay, this mutation produced no correctly-spliced CFTR RNA and protein in HEK293 cells (The Clinical and Functional TRanslation of CFTR (CFTR2); available at http://cftr2.org. Accessed September 14, 2017). This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

The CFTR c.3468G>A; p.Leu1156= variant (rs139729994) is reported in the compound heterozygous state in individuals with cystic fibrosis (see links to CF databases). However, this variant has also been reported in the homozygous state in an individual with pancreatitis, and an individual with congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (Claustres 2017, CFTR France Database). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 53750). It is only observed on two alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This is a synonymous variant located in the last nucleotide of exon 21 (exon 18 for traditional numbering), and computational analyses (Alamut Visual Plus v.1.5.1) predict that this variant may impact splicing by weakening the nearby canonical donor splice site. Functional studies using a mini-gene assay showed this variant does not produce correctly spliced CFTR RNA and protein in HEK293 cells (CFTR2 database). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic with varying clinical consequences.
