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]

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. -
