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]

Variant summary: CFTR c.709C>G (p.Gln237Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251392 control chromosomes. c.709C>G has been observed in the literature and in multiple databases in individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis, including several examples where it was found in the compound heterozygous state together with a pathogenic variant (e.g. Claustres_2000, Hubert_2004, Giardet_2007, Gaitch_2016, DeWachter_2017, Ramalho_2021, Vaidyanathan_2022, Varkki_2024); however, in two of these cases, the individual either was asymptomatic or had a mild phenotype/late disease onset (e.g. Ramhalo_2021, Mekki_2021), suggesting this variant may have varying clinical consequences. 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 (e.g. Ramalho_2021, Bihler_2024). The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately 16% of normal chloride channel conductance relative to wild type (Bihler_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 10923036, 28830496, 27086061, 17850636, 15463882, 33946859, 32747394, 35857025, 38388235, 38966678). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54042). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
