Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000492.4(CFTR):​c.2896del​(p.Thr966ArgfsTer2) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,570 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T966T) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-117603769-CA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-117603769-CA-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 53587.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr7-117603769-CA-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, reviewed by expert panel	research	CFTR2	Mar 17, 2017	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Dec 19, 2022	Variant summary: CFTR c.2896delA (p.Thr966ArgfsX2) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251282 control chromosomes. The variant, c.2896delA (aka. 3028delA) has been reported in the literature in multiple compound heterozygous individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (e.g. Ooi_2015, McCague_2019, Sasaki_2020). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four submitters, including an expert panel (CFTR2), have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014, and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Mar 27, 2016	The c.2896delA pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3028delA), located in coding exon 17 of the CFTR gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 2896, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T966Rfs*2).Since frameshifts are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Oct 13, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr966Argfs*2) in the CFTR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CFTR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1695717, 7691345, 9725922). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CFTR-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53587). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
