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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Nov 20, 2019NM_000492.3(CFTR):c.3744delA(K1250Rfs*9, aka 3876delA) is classified as pathogenic in the context of cystic fibrosis and is associated with the classic form of this disease. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 23974870. Classification of NM_000492.3(CFTR):c.3744delA(K1250Rfs*9, aka 3876delA) is based on the following criteria: The variant causes a premature termination codon that is expected to be targeted by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and is reported in individuals with the relevant phenotype. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 27, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys1250Argfs*9) 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 (rs121908784, gnomAD 0.009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 10777364, 11668613, 12865275, 15371903, 15858154, 22658665, 23974870, 26708955). This variant is also known as 3876delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7231). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 21, 2023The c.3744delA pathogenic mutation (also known as 3876delA), located in coding exon 23 of the CFTR gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at position 3744, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K1250Rfs*9). This pathogenic mutation has been reported to be responsible for 1-5% of cystic fibrosis disease alleles in the Hispanic population (Wong LJ et al. Prenat Diagn. 2000;20(10):807-10; Schrijver I et al. J Mol Diagn. 2005;7(2):289-99; Sugarman EA et al. Genet Med. 2004;6(5):392-9). In one study, this mutation was detected in seven Hispanic individuals with cystic fibrosis, six of whom had a second CFTR mutation. These individuals presented with a severe clinical phenotype, including elevated sweat chloride levels, pancreatic insufficiency, and variable pulmonary function (Wang J et al. J Med Genet. 2000;37(3):215-8). This pathogenic mutation is associated with pancreatic insufficiency, decreased lung function, elevated sweat chloride levels, and a higher rate of Pseudomonas infection (Sosnay PR et al. Nat Genet. 2013;45(10):1160-1167). 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. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoOct 16, 2019The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesSep 15, 2023The CFTR c.3744delA; p.Lys1250ArgfsTer9 variant (rs121908784), also known as 3876delA for traditional nomenclature, is reported in multiple individuals with pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis who carry an additional pathogenic variant in trans (CFTR2 database, Sosnay 2013, Wang 2000). This variant is reported as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 7231). It is only observed on three alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it 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: CFTR2 database: https://cftr2.org/ Sosnay PR et al.
