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 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 13, 2021The c.2015_2017delAAG variant (also known as p.E672del) is located in coding exon 14 of the CFTR gene. This variant results from an in-frame AAG deletion at nucleotide positions 2015 to 2017. This results in the in-frame deletion of a glutamic acid at codon 672. This variant has been identified in a 4-year-old proband with pancreatic insufficiency and elevated sweat chloride levels; however, no other alterations in CFTR were detected in this proband (Desgeorges M et al. Hum Genet 1997 Aug;100(2):279-83). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be neutral by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 31, 2021This variant, c.2015_2017del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the CFTR protein (p.Glu672del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of cystic fibrosis (PMID: 9254864, 26437683). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 439062). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
