Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5
The NM_000492.4(CFTR):c.3353C>G(p.Ser1118Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000106 in 1,610,154 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. S1118F) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Variant summary: CFTR c.3353C>G (p.Ser1118Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the second transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.1e-05 in 1603174 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database (v4.1 dataset). This frequency is not higher than the maximum estimated for a pathogenic variant in CFTR causing Cystic Fibrosis (0.013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.3353C>G, has been reported in the literature in at least one compound heterozygous individual affected with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens and/or adult-diagnosed Cystic Fibrosis (Sickkids database, and Dorfman_2008, Dorfman_2009, Masica_2012, Desai_2018). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. Publications reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated that the variant resulted in approximately (Gt channel conductance) 35% of normal chloride channel conductance relative to wild type (Bihler_2024). A different variant affecting the same codon has been classified as pathogenic by our lab (c.3353C>T, p.Ser1118Phe), supporting the critical relevance of codon 1118 to CFTR protein function, however the effect of various amino acid substitutions at this codon were different in functional studies (e.g. Wang_2014, Bihler_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29944384, 20059485, 18292811, 22573477, 22843683, 38388235, 23955087). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53721). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
