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 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.02003151 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.1, offset of 4, new splice context is: ttcttttttgctataaaaAGtat. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 7-117652841-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-117652841-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 53832.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Cystic fibrosis Pathogenic:5 Other:1

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Institute of Human Genetics, University of Leipzig Medical Center	Sep 05, 2022	This variant was identified in 1 patient with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The variant was classified in the context of a project re-classifying variants in the German Cystic Fibrosis Registry (Muko.e.V.). Link: https://www.muko.info/angebote/qualitaetsmanagement/register/cf-einrichtungen/mukoweb. Criteria applied: PVS1_STR, PM2_SUP, PM3, PP4 -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 12, 2022	Variant summary: CFTR c.3874-1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes the canonical 3' acceptor site. One predicts the variant creates a cryptic 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 245646 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3874-1G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (example: MIttre_1999). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic (n=2) and likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Sep 21, 2022	In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53832). This variant is also known as c.4006-1G>A. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 10612849). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 23 of the CFTR gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in CFTR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1695717, 7691345, 9725922). -
