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]

The c.3717G>T variant (also known as p.R1239S), located in coding exon 22 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 3717. The amino acid change results in arginine to serine at codon 1239, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 22, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This variant was reported in conjunction with p.F508del in one individual with pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis; however, phase information was not provided (Sugunaraj JP et al. NPJ Genom Med, 2019 Sep;4:21). A minigene assay in HEK293T cells showed abnormal splicing with a truncated protein; however, specific details were not provided (Joynt AT et al. PLoS Genet, 2020 Oct;16:e1009100). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. In addition, as a missense substitution this is predicted to be inconclusive by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
