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 7-117530933-GA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-117530933-GA-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 53653.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr7-117530933-GA-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The CFTR c.310del; p.Arg104GlufsTer3 variant (rs397508499, ClinVar Variation ID: 53653), also known as 441delA in legacy nomenclature, is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with cystic fibrosis (CFTR2 database, Zielenski 1995). This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Link to CFTR2 database: https://cftr2.org/ Zielenski J et al.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: CFTR c.310delA (p.Arg104GlufsX3) 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. The variant was absent in 251148 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.310delA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (e.g. Zielenski_1995). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 7537150). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53653). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and not found in general population data. -
