The c.274-1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 4 of the CFTR gene. This mutation has been reported in multiple cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with a second mutation confirmed in trans; it is associated with elevated sweat chloride levels, pancreatic insufficiency, and Pseudomonas infection (Sosnay PR et al. Nat. Genet., 2013 Oct;45:1160-7). 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. -
Variant summary: The CFTR c.274-1G>A variant (alternatively also known as 406-1G>A) involves the alteration of a highly conserved nucleotide in the consensus splice acceptor site in intron 3, therefore it is expected to cause aberrant splicing. 5/5 splice prediction tools also predict the abrogation of the splice acceptor site. Thus this variant is very likely to result in loss of function which is a known disease mechanism in CF. This variant was found in 1/116316 control chromosomes from ExAC at a frequency of 0.0000086, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic CFTR variant (0.0129603). This variant is found in several CF patients, mainly in Hispanic CF population in compound heterozygous state with other likely or known pathogenic variants. In a large CF population from North American and Europe, its allele frequency was found to be at 0.03% (Sosnay_2013). Several clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 3 of the CFTR gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in CFTR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1695717, 7691345, 9725922). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908792, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 10798368, 11668613, 15365999, 23974870, 26708955). This variant is also known as c.406-1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 48680). 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. -
NM_000492.3(CFTR):c.274-1G>A(aka 406-1G>A) is classified as pathogenic in the context of cystic fibrosis and is associated with the classic form of the disease. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 21416780, 17331079, 11668613, 23974870 and 10798368. Classification of NM_000492.3(CFTR):c.274-1G>A(aka 406-1G>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. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
