The variant received 4 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). O3_SupportingO6_SupportingO7_SupportingO8_Supporting

The NM_000492.4(CFTR):c.1624G>A (p.Gly542Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The gene CFTR is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 18 TSG, 1 driver citations). The gene CFTR is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 18 TSG, 1 driver citations). The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.00000206 (AC=3) in the gnomAD database across 1,459,832 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.00000924. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain Significance (★). Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.G542E: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 2562518, 2 stars); p.G542= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1577196, 1 star) The variant has been observed in cBioPortal in 3 samples across 3 studies and 2 cancer types; somatic enrichment level: SUPPORTING_LOW (Observed in a small number of cBioPortal cases.).

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]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Very rare in gnomAD (popmax AF <0.01%) — O3 supporting; GnomAD effective popmax AF = 0.000009 — very rare (O3 supporting [+1])
	O6Computational evidence supports deleterious effect		Computational evidence supports a deleterious/oncogenic effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer supports an oncogenic/deleterious effect
	O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain		Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 7 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 75.0); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
	O8Missense constraint in gene or region		Missense in gene/domain constrained for missense variation where missense is common disease mechanism (O8 supporting); Gene/disease mechanism: missense is a common mechanism of oncogenesis; gnomAD missense Z-score: -1.07 (threshold ≥3.09 for constraint); Domain-level constraint: variant is in a critically constrained functional domain (IS_AT_CRITICAL_DOMAIN)
