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

NM_000492.3(CFTR):c.274G>T(E92*) is classified as pathogenic in the context of cystic fibrosis and is associated with the classic form of disease. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 23974870. Classification of NM_000492.3(CFTR):c.274G>T(E92*) 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. -

The p.E92* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.274G>T and c.406G>T) is located in coding exon 4 of the CFTR gene. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 4. Since this nucleotide is in the first position of coding exon 4, splicing effects have also been observed (Will K et al. J. Clin. Invest., 1994 Apr;93:1852-9; Will K et al. Hum. Mutat., 1995;5:210-20).This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with an elevated sweat chloride level in The Clinical and Functional TRanslation of CFTR (CFTR2) database (available at http://cftr2.org. Accessed 08/22/2022). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

Variant summary: CFTR c.274G>T (p.Glu92X) 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. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250778 control chromosomes. c.274G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with CFTR-Related Diseases. 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: 7541274, 23276700, 23974870). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7186). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu92*) 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 (rs121908751, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 7512993, 23974870). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7186). This variant disrupts the p.Arg117 amino acid residue in CFTR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7525450, 15482777, 21783433, 22658665, 23974870, 24586523). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
