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]

Variant summary: The CFTR c.262_263delTT (p.Leu88Ilefs) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent CFTR protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g.p.Glu193X, p.Gln220X). One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 39/121142 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0003219, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic CFTR variant (0.0129603). This variant has been reported in a large number of CF patients. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

The CFTR c.262_263del; p.Leu88IlefsTer22 variant (rs121908769), also known as 394delTT, has been reported in multiple patients diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (Claustres 1993, Schwartz 1994), and commonly associated with pancreatic insufficiency (Ooi 2012, Sosnay 2013, CFTR2 database). This variant is reported as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 7232) and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.03% (73/282,210 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). This variant causes a frameshift by deleting two nucleotides, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on the above information, the variant is classified as pathogenic. References: Link to CFTR2 database: http://cftr2.org/ Claustres M et al.

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v4.0.0 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.012%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Frameshift: predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported multiple times as an established pathogenic variant (ClinVar ID: VCV000007232 /PMID: 7691344). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu88Ilefs*22) 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). This variant is present in population databases (rs754147777, gnomAD 0.1%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis and CFTR-related conditions (PMID: 7691344, 22658665, 23378603, 23974870). This variant is also known as 394delTT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7232). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

The c.262_263delTT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 3 of the CFTR gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at positions 262 to 263, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L88Ifs*22). This variant is associated with elevated sweat chloride levels, pancreatic insufficiency, and decreased lung function (Sosnay PR et al. Nat Genet. 2013;45(10):1160-7, Supplementary Table). In one study, this variant reportedly accounted for 8.5% of cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations in a cohort of 331 CF patients from Sweden (Schaedel C, et al. Clin.Genet.1999;56(4):318-22). This variant was also reportedly detected in the homozygous state in an infant with severe CF manifestations including pancreatic insufficiency, anemia, failure to thrive, elevated sweat chloride level, and severe pulmonary disease (Kahre T et al. J.Cyst.Fibros.2004;3(1):58-60). 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.

The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and found in general population data at a frequency that is consistent with pathogenicity.
