Variant summary: CFTR c.4225G>A (p.Glu1409Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the ATPase domain (IPR003593) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250766 control chromosomes. c.4225G>A has been reported in the literature in compound heterozygous individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (Girardet_2015, Mota_2018). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in 11.52% of normal activity in an in vitro cellular assay (Bihler_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 38388235, 33572515, 34740355, 32357917, 20059485, 24762087, 30232781, 25735457, 18556774, 26277102). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53923). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
The p.E1409K variant (also known as c.4225G>A), located in coding exon 26 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4225. The glutamic acid at codon 1409 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in conjunction with p.F508del in a Brazilian individual with elevated sweat chloride levels, respiratory symptoms, and steatorrhea; however, the phase was not provided (Mota LR et al. Mol. Biol. Rep., 2018 Dec;45:2045-2051). This amino acid position is well 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 variant remains unclear.
This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1409 of the CFTR protein (p.Glu1409Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs397508699, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with CFTR-related conditions (PMID: 30232781; external communication). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53923). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CFTR protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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.

The CFTR c.4225G>A; p.Glu1409Lys variant (rs397508699) is reported in the Cystic Fibrosis Mutation database in an individual with a CFTR-related disorder who also carried a pathogenic CFTR variant (see link). The p.Glu1409Lys protein alteration is also reported in individuals with cystic fibrosis, but it is unclear if this is the same nucleotide variant or if other CFTR variants are present or not (Mota 2018, Schrijver 2008). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 53923), and is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The glutamic acid at codon 1409 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT: tolerated, PolyPhen-2: possibly damaging) predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Glu1409Lys variant is uncertain at this time.
