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]

This mutation was reported in two unrelated individuals with cystic fibrosis who had pancreatic insufficiency, pulmonary disease, and abnormal sweat chloride levels; both individuals were also heterozygous for p.F508del (Strong TV et al. Hum. Mutat., 1992;1:380-7). Two other mutations at the same nucleotide position, c.1766+1G>C and c.1766+1G>T, have been reported in individuals with cystic fibrosis (Cuppens H et al. Genomics, 1993 Dec;18:693-7; Crawford J et al. Hum. Mutat., 1995;5:101-2; Petrova NV et al. Genes (Basel), 2020 May;11(5):554). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 25, 2023This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 13 of the CFTR gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs121908748, gnomAD 0.007%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 1284540, 18456578, 22658665, 23974870). This variant is also known as 1898+1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7168). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 13 (also known as exon 12), but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 1284540). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 23974870. Classification of NM_000492.3(CFTR):c.1766+1G>A(aka 1898+1G>A) is based on the following criteria: The variant is located at a canonical splice site, is expected to disrupt gene function and is reported in individuals with the relevant phenotype.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 01, 2019Variant summary: CFTR c.1766+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: four predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.6e-05 in 275450 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.1766+1G>A (also known as 1898+1G>A) is a common disease variant and has been reported in the literature and databases in numerous individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (see e.g. Sosnay 2013). There are 415 patients listed with this variant in the CFTR2 database, and 94% of these patients are pancreatic insufficient. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and both of them classified the variant as pathogenic. The variant has been also classified as pathogenic by the CFTR2 database expert panel. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoJul 21, 2023The CFTR c.1766+1G>A variant disrupts a canonical splice-donor site and interferes with normal CFTR mRNA splicing. This variant has been shown to maintain the translation reading frame of the CFTR mRNA; however, skipping of exon 13 (also known as exon 12) removes a portion of the gene important for its function (PMID: 1284540 (1992)). In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with Cystic Fibrosis (PMID: 1284540 (1992), 23974870 (2013), 23276700 (2013), 26708955 (2016), 28544683 (2017), and 32429104 (2020)). The variant is described in online databases as being pathogenic and CF-causing (CFTR2 (https://cftr2.org/)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00016 (8/50402 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesJan 28, 2019The CFTR c.1766+1G>A variant (rs121908748), also known as 1898+1G>A, is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis (Sosnay 2013, Strong 1992). This variant is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 7168), and is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant disrupts the canonical splice donor site of intron 12, which is likely to negatively impact gene function. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.
