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 11 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_000492.4 (CFTR) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar as 558712
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 11 uncertain in NM_000492.4
• 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, 0.942

Variant summary: CFTR c.558C>A (p.Asn186Lys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the first transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 31400 control chromosomes. c.558C>A has been reported in the literature in two individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis or Cystic Fibrosis related Bronchiectasis (Claustres_2017, Sickkids database). A third case carring the current variant at a heterozygous state was also mentioned, but not enough clinical info or second variant were provided (Claustres_2017). 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3391202). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The observed missense c.558C>Ap.Asn186Lys variant in CFTR gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor a benign variant, to our knowledge. The p.Asn186Lys variant is absent in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has not been submitted to the ClinVar database. Multiple lines of computational evidences Polyphen - Probably damaging, SIFT - Tolerated and MutationTaster - Disease causing predict conflicting evidence on protein structure and function for this variant. The reference amino acid change at this position on CFTR gene is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Asn at position 186 is changed to a Lys changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance VUS. -
