Variant Summary: The c.4364C>G (p.Ser1455*) variant in CFTR gene is a nonsense change predicted cause loss of last 26 amino acids of the protein. This variant is found in 1/121108 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000008, which does not exceed the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0129) in this gene. Although in vitro testing showed stable mutant protein and normal chloride channel function in epithelial expression (Mickle_1998), the CFTR protein missing the last 26 amino acids in vivo is expected to associate with elelvated chloride level in patients carrying this variant due to mistargeting of the mutant to the basolateral membrane (Moyer_1999). The variant has been reported in multiple affected individuals and was shown to segregate with the disease in CF families. The variant, by its nature and based on clinical and functional data, is expected to cause non-classic CF. Two reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, the variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.S1455* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4364C>G), located in coding exon 27 of the CFTR gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 4364. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 27. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theCFTR gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 26 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been reported as a variant of varying clinical consequences (VVCC) (Sosnay PR et al. Pediatr. Clin. North Am., 2016 08;63:585-98; The Clinical and Functional TRanslation of CFTR (CFTR2); available at http://cftr2.org. Accessed July 6, 2023). In one study, this alteration was detected in trans with a gross deletion in mother and daughter who had isolated elevated sweat chloride levels, but no clinical manifestation of cystic fibrosis (Mickle JE et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 1998 Apr;7:729-35). The variant was also detected with p.F508del in monozygotic twin brothers who exhibited more severe lung symptoms with Pseudomonas colonization of the upper airway (Kalampouka E et al. Arch. Bronconeumol., 2014 Nov;50:499-500). In another study, two siblings with p.F508del in trans with this alteration had elevated sweat chloride levels and no respiratory symptoms or pancreatic involvement (Salvatore D et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. A, 2005 Mar;133A:207-8). Functional studies indicated that this mutation may not alter biosynthesis or maturation of the CFTR protein but may inhibit channel activity and chloride transport (Mickle JE et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 1998 Apr;7:729-35; Ostedgaard LS et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2003 Feb;100:1937-42; Benharouga M et al. J. Biol. Chem., 2003 Jun;278:22079-89; Sharma N et al. PLoS Genet, 2018 Nov;14:e1007723). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser1455*) in the CFTR gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 26 amino acid(s) of the CFTR protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs121909043, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 17662673, 23276700, 24388274, 25304080, 27728908). This variant is also known as delta26. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7223). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on CFTR function (PMID: 9499426, 10562297, 12651858). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
