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:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1224 of the CFTR protein (p.Asn1224Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs371475225, gnomAD 0.2%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CFTR-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 495934). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The CFTR c.3672T>A; p.Asn1224Lys variant (rs371475225) has been observed in trans with a common pathogenic CFTR variant (F508del) in an individual exhibiting no clinical signs of cystic fibrosis (Oca 2009). This variant is observed in the general population at an overall frequency of 0.02% (49/244772 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The asparagine at codon 1224 is weakly conserved and computational algorithms (SIFT, PolyPhen2, MutationTaster) predict this variant to be tolerated. However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty. References: Oca F et al. Amniotic fluid digestive enzyme analysis is useful for identifying CFTR gene mutations of unclear significance. Clin Chem. 2009 Dec;55(12):2214-7. -

The CFTR c.3672T>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asn1224Lys. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.15% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/7-117267779-T-A) Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: CFTR c.3672T>A (p.Asn1224Lys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the AAA+ ATPase domain (IPR003593) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0002 in 244772 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0015 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in CFTR causing Cystic Fibrosis (CF) (0.0015 vs. 0.013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. However, it cannot be excluded that the variant may still represent a rare ethnic specific polymorphism. c.3672T>A has been reported in the literature in a 2 year old symptom-free individual with a pathogenic CFTR variant (F508del) in trans (Oca 2009), however, the clinical outcome of this case remains uncertain as it is unclear whether the variant may contribute to non-classic CF or CBAVD later. This report therefore does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cystic Fibrosis. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
