Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP3_Strong

The NM_000492.4(CFTR):​c.1657C>G​(p.Arg553Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R553Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 13 uncertain in NM_000492.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.989

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jul 23, 2022	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 553 of the CFTR protein (p.Arg553Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 17825628). 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: 53322). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jun 19, 2020	The p.R553G variant (also known as c.1657C>G), located in coding exon 12 of the CFTR gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1657. The arginine at codon 553 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was reported in a neonatal cystic fibrosis screening cohort, as detected in one carrier and in one case who had borderline sweat chloride levels and CFTR p.R551D also detected (Férec C et al. Hum. Genet., 1995 Nov;96:542-8; Scotet V et al. Lancet, 2000 Sep;356:789-94; Scotet V et al. Clin. Genet., 2001 Jan;59:42-7). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
