Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1PP2PP3_Strong
The NM_000492.4(CFTR):c.1331T>C(p.Ile444Thr) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000682 in 1,613,012 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. I444S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Cystic fibrosis Pathogenic:1Uncertain:5
This sequence change replaces isoleucine with threonine at codon 444 of the CFTR protein (p.Ile444Thr). The isoleucine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between isoleucine and threonine. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with congenital bilateralabsence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) (PMID: 21520337). 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 disruptive. 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. -

The p.I444T variant (also known as c.1331T>C), located in coding exon 10 of the CFTR gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1331. The isoleucine at codon 444 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was detected in the heterozygous state in multiple individuals with congenital absence of the vas deferens (CAVD); however, a second mutation was not identified (Steiner B et al. Hum Mutat, 2011 Aug;32:912-20; Akinsal EC et al. Andrologia, 2018 Feb; Gaikwad A et al. Indian J Med Res, 2020 Dec;152:575-583). 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 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.).

The missense c.1331T>C (p.Ile444Thr) variant in CFTR gene has not been previously reported in individual affected with Cystic fibrosis (Gaikwad A et al. 2020). The p.Ile444Thr variant present with allele frequency of 0.003% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Likely Pathogenic /Uncertain Significance (multiple submission). Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen - Probably damaging, SIFT – Damaging and Mutation Taster - Disease causing) predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The reference amino acid at this position on CFTR gene is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Ile at position 444 is changed to a Thr changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. Functional studies are required to prove the pathogenicity for the variant, for these reasons, this variant has been classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS). In the absence of another reportable variant in CFTR gene, the molecular diagnosis is not confirmed. -

Observed with a pathogenic variant on the opposite allele (in trans) or with another variant for which phase was unknown in multiple patients with congenital absence of vas deferens in the published literature and in a reputable database (Claustres 2017, Akinsal 2018); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29484681, 21520337) -

Variant summary: CFTR c.1331T>C (p.Ile444Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter-like, ATP-binding domain (IPR003239) of the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.9e-05 in 242776 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1331T>C has been reported at a heterozygous state, without second variant in CFTR in several individuals affected with congenital absence of vas deferens (example, Steiner_2011, Akinsal_2018, Gaikwad_2020). These report(s) 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: 29484681, 34145097, 21520337). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551988). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
