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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 197 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 46 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -3.1397 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -1.0868 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hereditary chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.986
• PP5: Variant 7-117664695-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-117664695-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 53865.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

Institute of Human Genetics, University of Leipzig Medical Center

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: curation

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.).

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CFTR protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53865). This missense change has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 16596947). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1324 of the CFTR protein (p.Leu1324Pro). -

Variant summary: CFTR c.3971T>C (p.Leu1324Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter-like, ATP-binding domain (IPR003439) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251070 control chromosomes. c.3971T>C has been reported in the literature and in CF databases as a biallelic genotype in individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (e.g. Bienvenu_2005, McCague_2019, SickKids, CFTR-France). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity (Bihler_2022). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16596947, 38388235, 20163773, 30888834). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53865). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
