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]

The c.1029delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 8 of the CFTR gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1029, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.C343*). This mutation was identified in the homozygous state in two unrelated sibling pairs with cystic fibrosis (Malone G et al. Hum. Mutat., 1998;11:152-7). 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.Cys343*) 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 (rs121908774, gnomAD 0.05%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 9482579, 15463906). This variant is also known as c.1161delC. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53170). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Variant summary: CFTR c.1029delC (p.Cys343X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause an absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.4e-05 in 251216 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CFTR causing Cystic Fibrosis (6.4e-05 vs 0.013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1029delC has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (example, Malone_1998, Ooi_2012, Indika_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31126253, 9482579, 22658665). Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories and databases (CFTR2, CFTR-France) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

The frameshift c.1029del p.Cys343Ter variant in the CFTR gene has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis Duguépéroux, Ingrid et al., 2004. This variant is reported with the allele frequency 0.006% in the gnomAD Exomes and novel in 1000 Genomes. It is submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic multiple submissions. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

A Heterozygous Frameshift variant c.1029delC in Exon 8 of the CFTR gene that results in the premature termination of the protein (p.Cys343fs*1) was identified. The observed variant has a minor allele frequency of 0.00006% in gnomAD exomes and genomes, respectively. The severity of the impact of this variant on the protein is high, based on the effect of the protein and REVEL score . Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner (REVEL) is an ensembl method for predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants based on a combination of scores from 13 individual tools: MutPred, FATHMM v2.3, VEST 3.0, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster, LRT, GERP++, SiPhy, phyloP, and phastCons. The REVEL score for an individual missense variant can range from 0 to 1, with higher scores reflecting greater likelihood that the variant is disease-causing. The variant was found in ClinVar (Variant ID :53170) with a classification of Pathogenic and a review status of (3 star) criteria provided, expert panel reviewed. The variant was previously reported by Malone G et al.,1998. Based on the above evidence this variant has been classified as Pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines.
