Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 4P and 5B. PM1PM2BP4_StrongBP6
The NM_000492.4(CFTR):c.1312A>G(p.Thr438Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).

The CFTR p.Thr438Ala variant was not identified in the Cosmic or MutDB databases but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs201434579), ClinVar (reported as a VUS by Emory and Illumina and benign by the Center for Pediatric Genomic Medicine at the Children's Mercy Hospital and Clinics), Clinvitae and LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in control databases in 910 of 243424 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.003738 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 184 of 18116 chromosomes (freq: 0.01016), European (Finnish) in 195 of 20214 chromosomes (freq: 0.009647), Other in 46 of 6026 chromosomes (freq: 0.007634), European (non-Finnish) in 407 of 108932 chromosomes (freq: 0.003736), East Asian in 26 of 18052 chromosomes (freq: 0.00144), Latino in 42 of 33100 chromosomes (freq: 0.001269) and Ashkenazi Jewish in 10 of 9894 chromosomes (freq: 0.001011), but was not observed in the South Asian population. Trujillano et al. (2015) identified this variant in the heterozygous state in 1/177 cystic fibrosis patients but suggested the variant to be neutral (Trujillano_2015_PMID: 26436105). The p.Thr438 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

CFTR-related disorder Uncertain:2
The CFTR c.1312A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr438Ala. This variant has been reported in a heterozygous state in an individual with cystic fibrosis although it is unknown if a second variant was detected (Trujillano et al. 2015. PMID: 26436105). This variant is reported in 1.0% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD; however, part of the data set did not pass the quality metrics so this data should be interpreted with caution. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
