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

The p.Y1092* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3276C>A), located in coding exon 20 of the CFTR gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 3276. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 20. This pathogenic mutation was first described in an individual with pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis in conjunction with p.F508del (Bozon D et al. Hum. Mutat., 1994;3:330-2). This mutation is associated with elevated sweat chloride levels and pancreatic insufficiency (Sosnay PR et al. Nat. Genet., 2013 Oct;45:1160-7). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr1092*) in the CFTR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CFTR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1695717, 7691345, 9725922). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis and chronic pancreatitis. A second, pathogenic, CFTR variant was not reported in this individual (PMID: 10950058, 12815607, 15480987, 18456578, 21416780, 23974870, 24586523, 25910067). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38728). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

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

This variant is classified as Pathogenic. Evidence in support of pathogenic classification: Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction); Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v4: 20 heterozygote(s), 0 homozygote(s)); This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been classified as pathogenic by the CFTR2 expert panel and multiple clinical laboratories (CFTR2, ClinVar); Other NMD-predicted variant(s) comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (DECIPHER). Additional information: This variant is heterozygous; This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease; Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with cystic fibrosis (MIM#219700).

The CFTR c.3276C>A; p.Tyr1092Ter variant (rs121908761) has been reported in the medical literature in several individuals with pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis (Castellani 2008, De Braekeleer 1998, Sosnay 2013). The variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 38728) and is reported in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.0018% (5/282,504 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Castellani C et al.

The Y1092X pathogenic variant in the CFTR gene has been reported previously as a cystic fibrosis-causing variant, accounting for approximately 0.2% of all cystic fibrosis mutant alleles (Tsui, 1992; Sosnay et al., 2013). The Y1092X variant has also been implicated in chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic insufficiency (Ockenga et al., 2000; Ooi and Durie, 2012). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The Y1092X variant is not observed at any significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret Y1092X as a pathogenic variant.

The CFTR c.3276C>A variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Tyr1092*). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with cystic fibrosis (Bozon et al. 1994. PubMed ID: 7517268; Scotet et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12815607; Sosnay et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23974870; Ziętkiewicz et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24586523; Lucarelli et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25910067; Raraigh et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 34782259) and has been observed to co-segregate with disease in a large French Canadian family (De Braekeleer et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9618063). It has also been reported as a single heterozygous variant in a patient with chronic pancreatitis (Ockenga et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10950058). A different nucleotide substitution with the same predicted effect (c.3276C>G, p.Tyr1092*) has also been reported in multiple individuals with cystic fibrosis (Schrijver et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 16049310; Raraigh et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 34782259) and an absence of chloride channel function has been noted in in vitro studies of biopsied tissue samples and primary cell cultures from patients heterozygous for both the p.Phe508del and p.Tyr1092* variants (Hirtz et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 15480987; Awatade et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26137539). This variant is reported in 0.0040% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. Taken together, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic.

Variant summary: The variant CFTR c.3276C>A (p.Tyr1092X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 245972 control chromosomes (gnomAD) and has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (Bozon_1994, DeBraekeleer_1998, Sosnay_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

The CFTR c.3276C>A (p.Tyr1092*) variant is a nonsense change in exon 20 predicted to introduce a premature stop codon and lead to nonsense-mediated decay of the transcript. This variant results in loss of normal CFTR protein function (PVS1). It is absent from the 1000 Genomes and gnomAD databases (PM2) and has been reported in association with pancreatic disease and other CFTR-related phenotypes (PMID:25738998). Based on ACMG/AMP 2015 guidelines (PVS1 + PM2 + PP5), this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
