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]

Cystic fibrosis Pathogenic:4

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	Sep 01, 2022	The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. In silico tools predict the variant to alter splicing and produce an abnormal transcript (SpliceAI: 0.78). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000053378). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 04, 2024	This sequence change falls in intron 13 of the CFTR gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CFTR protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of CFTR-related conditions (PMID: 7581406, 16051530). This variant is also known as 1898+3 A>C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53378). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 13, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 22362925). This variant disrupts a region of the CFTR protein in which other variant(s) (p.Asp579Gly) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7544319, 15463898, 26494713, 27738188, 27812499). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
