Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM1PP2PP3_Strong
The NM_000492.4(CFTR):c.2876C>T(p.Ala959Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000434 in 1,613,852 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 Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A959T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Cystic fibrosis Uncertain:2Other:1

The p.A959V variant (also known as c.2876C>T), located in coding exon 17 of the CFTR gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2876. The alanine at codon 959 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was identified in an individual with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) (Ratbi I et al. Hum Reprod, 2007 May;22:1285-91). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: CFTR c.2876C>T (p.Ala959Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Five 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 251328 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2876C>T has been reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in at least one individual affected with Congenital Bilateral Absence Of The Vas Deferens (e.g. Ratbi_2007, Pagin_2020). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Congenital Bilateral Absence Of The Vas Deferens. 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: 32357917, 31845523, 17329263). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted a clinical-significance assessment for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
CFTR-related disorder Uncertain:1
The CFTR c.2876C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala959Val. This variant has been reported in eight patients as a variant of uncertain significance (Ratbi et. at. 2007. PubMed ID: 17329263, Pagin et. al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31845523, Chamayou et. al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32357917), but has been predicted to be likely pathogenic by bioinformatics programs (De Paolis et. al. 2023. PubMed ID: 37628659). This variant is reported in 0.0018% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
