Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 5P and 1B. PM1PP2PP3_ModerateBP6
The NM_000492.4(CFTR):c.1043T>A(p.Met348Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000123 in 1,613,968 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M348T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Variant summary: CFTR c.1043T>A (p.Met348Lys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00014 in 251178 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CFTR causing Cystic Fibrosis (0.00014 vs 0.013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1043T>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) (example: DApice_2004, Liechti-Gallati_1999). However, it has also been found in a healthy homozygous individual (Molinario_2013) and in a patient who presented with respiratory distress, necrotizing enterocolitis and hyperbilirubinemia but a negative sweat test (Hentschel_2012), indicating the variant was not causative for CF. In another family the variant was shown not to co-segregate with the disease (D'Apice_2004). Additionally, the variant has also been found in cis with another pathogenic variant in a CBAVD (Congenital Bilateral Absence of Vas Deferens) and a CF patient with pancreatic insufficiency (Lucarelli_2015). Electrophysiological assessment of CFTR in native rectal epithelium of the patient homozygous for this variant demonstrated normal Cl- secretion (Hentschel_2012) and Gt channel conductance was 61% of normal relative to wildtype (Bihler_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 38388235, 32357917, 15084222, 15614862, 22274833, 16128988, 10439967, 25910067, 23951356, 25922769, 28801929, 30134826, 25087612, 26436105). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53173). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
