Cystic fibrosis Uncertain:6
The p.T1086A variant (also known as c.3256A>G), located in coding exon 20 of the CFTR gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 3256. The threonine at codon 1086 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was observed in the heterozygous state in one healthy control individual (Schneider A, Gastroenterology 2011 Jan; 140(1):162-71). This alteration was also identified in a child with a sweat chlorid of 35 mmol/l. This individual also carries T5 (phase unknown) and the authors diagnosed the child with equivocal cystic fibrosis (Torresani T et al. J Cyst Fibros, 2013 Dec;12:667-74). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
This sequence change replaces threonine with alanine at codon 1086 of the CFTR protein (p.Thr1086Ala). The threonine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between threonine and alanine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with equivocal cystic fibrosis (PMID: 23712087). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 871193). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -
This variant was identified in 1 patient with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The variant was classified in the context of a project re-classifying variants in the German Cystic Fibrosis Registry (Muko.e.V.).

CFTR c.3256A>G has been previously identified in individuals with features of cystic fibrosis, but without the classic phenotype. This CFTR variant (rs373043500) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD: 1/251126 total alleles; 0.0004%; no homozygotes) and is absent from ClinVar. Of three bioinformatics tools queried, one predicts that p.Thr1086Ala would probably be damaging, while two predict that it would be tolerated. The threonine residue at this position is evolutionarily conserved across most species assessed. A different substitution at this residue (p.Thr1086Ser) has been reported by two ClinVar submitters (variation ID: 411123). Due to the lack of phenotype and functional data, we consider the clinical significance of c.3256A>G to be uncertain at this time. -

Variant summary: CFTR c.3256A>G (p.Thr1086Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251316 control chromosomes. c.3256A>G has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with equivocal Cystic Fibrosis (Torresani_2013). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cystic Fibrosis. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately 21.57% of normal chloride channel conductance relative to wild type (e.g., Bihler_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16126774, 20977904, 23712087, 38388235). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 871193). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
