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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 19, 2016	Variant summary: The c.274-6T>C in CFTR gene is an intronic variant that affects a non-conserved nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. 5/5 in silico tools predict no significant effects on splicing and these predictions been confirmed by in vitro/vivo studies (Raynal , 2013). Variant was observed in the large and broad cohorts of the ExAC project at an allele frequency of 0.0005 (59/114809 chrs tested) predominantly in individuals of Non-Finnish European ancestry. Although the observed frequency does not exceed the maximal expected allele frequency of a disease causing allele (0.006), it is more than carrier frequency of all known splice acceptor mutations in ExAC cohort, indicating it is rare polymorphism. The variant was reported in several CF-RD spectrum patients without strong evidence for pathogenicity as well as in unaffected controls. Clinical diagnostic centers classify variant as Benign/VUS without evidence to independently evaluate. Taking together, the variant was classified as Likely Benign. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
