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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesNov 08, 2020The CFTR c.451C>A; p.Gln151Lys variant (rs397508720) is reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in individuals affected with CFTR-related disorders (Dorfman 2010, Yang 2015). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 53953), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.0071% (20/281702 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The glutamine at codon 151 is highly conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.700). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Gln151Lys variant is uncertain at this time. References: Dorfman R et al.

Cystic fibrosis Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 10, 2024The p.Q151K variant (also known as c.451C>A), located in coding exon 4 of the CFTR gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 451. The glutamine at codon 151 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in a cohort of individual diagnosed with cystic fibrosis; however, complete genotype and phenotype information was not provided (Dorfman R et al. Clin. Genet., 2010 May;77:464-73). In addition, this variant was reported as associated with congenital absence of the vas deferens (CAVD) (Yang X et al. Fertil. Steril., 2015 Nov;104:1268-75.e1-2). This alteration was also identified in an individual diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis (Litvinova MM et al. Sovrem Tekhnologii Med, 2023 Mar;15:60-70). 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 available evidence to date, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 03, 2022This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 151 of the CFTR protein (p.Gln151Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs397508720, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with congenital absence of vas deferens (PMID: 26277102). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53953). 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. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingNatera, Inc.May 28, 2018- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 12, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 20, 2024Variant summary: CFTR c.451C>A (p.Gln151Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.8e-05 in 250308 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CFTR causing Congenital Bilateral Absence Of The Vas Deferens (6.8e-05 vs 0.013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.451C>A has been reported in the literature in the heterozygous or unknown state (2nd allele not specified) at least 1 individual affected with Congenital Bilateral Absence Of The Vas Deferens and at least 1 individual affected with chronic pancreatitis (example, Dorfman_2010, Saferali_2022, Litvinova_2023, Yang_2015); further it has also been associated with Congenital Bilateral Absence Of The Vas Deferens and bronchiectasis in at least 1 individual, respectively, in the CFTR-France database. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with CFTR-related conditions. The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately 37.47% of normal chloride channel conductance relative to wild type (e.g., Bihler_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20059485, 34996830, 38388235, 37389024, 26277102). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53953). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
