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]

The CFTR c.1606A>G (p.Lys536Glu) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 28992757 (2018)) and in a newborn screening study (PMID: 33572515 (2021)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00059 (21/35302 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The CFTR c.1606A>G; p.Lys536Glu variant (rs148173473) has been identified in newborn screening programs, and is reported in a newborn with a positive sweat chloride test with no second CFTR variant identified (Bozdogan 2021, Ibarra-Gonzalez 2018). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 595238). It is observed in the Admixed American population with an allele frequency of 0.06% (21/35302 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.689). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

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

The p.K536E variant (also known as c.1606A>G), located in coding exon 12 of the CFTR gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1606. The lysine at codon 536 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 536 of the CFTR protein (p.Lys536Glu). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 28992757). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 595238). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The CFTR c.1606A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Lys536Glu. This variant has been reported in an individual with a positive sweat test without an identified second mutation (Ibarra-González et al 2018. PubMed ID: 28992757) and in an individual identified through newborn screening (Bozdogan ST et al 2021. PubMed ID: 33572515). This variant is reported in 0.059% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/595238/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Variant summary: CFTR c.1606A>G (p.Lys536Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter-like, ATP-binding domain of the encoded protein sequence. Two of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-05 in 250922 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CFTR causing Cystic Fibrosis (8e-05 vs 0.013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1606A>G has been reported in the literature a patient with a positive sweat test without a second mutation detected (example, Ibarra-Gonzalez_2017), and during a newborn screening program, without strong evidence for causality provided (example, Bozdogan_2021). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cystic Fibrosis. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33572515, 28992757, 25735457). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 595238). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
