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]

Cystic fibrosis Pathogenic:8
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Nov 11, 2019NM_000492.3(CFTR):c.1675G>A(A559T) is classified as pathogenic in the context of cystic fibrosis and is associated with the classic form of disease. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 23974870, 18456578 and 1695717. Classification of NM_000492.3(CFTR):c.1675G>A(A559T) is based on the following criteria: This is a well-established pathogenic variant in the literature that has been observed more frequently in patients with clinical diagnoses than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening.‚Äã -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 25, 2022The p.A559T pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1675G>A), located in coding exon 12 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1675. The alanine at codon 559 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. In one study, this mutation was detected in the homozygous state in an individual with poor feeding, cough, sudden weight loss, pancreatic insufficiency, and elevated sweat chloride levels; the individual's parents were confirmed carriers (McDowell T et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 1995 Sep;57:734). This mutation is associated with elevated sweat chloride levels and pancreatic insufficiency (Sosnay PR et al. Nat. Genet., 2013 Oct;45:1160-7). In addition, in vitro functional studies showed reduced mature CFTR protein levels as well as undetectable chloride conductance (Gregory RJ et al. Mol. Cell. Biol., 1991 Aug;11:3886-93; Van Goor F et al. J. Cyst. Fibros., 2014 Jan;13:29-36; Sosnay PR et al. Nat. Genet., 2013 Oct;45:1160-7). Based on available evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 18, 2024This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 559 of the CFTR protein (p.Ala559Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs75549581, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 1695717, 7668304, 9150159, 9950364, 12007216, 18456578, 23670503, 23974870, 25489051). 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: 7123). 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 with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CFTR function (PMID: 1712898, 23891399, 23974870). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, reviewed by expert panelresearchCFTR2Mar 17, 2017- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 30, 2016Variant summary: The CFTR c.1675G>A (p.Ala559Thr) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. Variant is located in the ABC transporter-like domain, P-loop containing nucleoside triphosphate hydrolase domain, and the AAA+ATP domain in the protein. 5/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 2/120302 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000166, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic CFTR variant (0.0129603). This variant has been reported in many affected individuals worldwide and multiple functional studies showed that variant lead to sever defect in CFTR processing and lead to non-detectable level of chloride transport. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 26, 2017The A559T variant in the CFTR gene has been reported previously in individuals with cystic fibrosis (Cutting et al., 1990; Keyeux et al., 2003). It is reported as pathogenic in ClinVar but additional evidence is not available (SCV000071496.3, SCV000225523.3, SCV000331552.2, SCV000485203.1; Landrum et al., 2016). Functional studies indicate that cells expressing the A599T variant have a low level of mature CFTR and do not have chloride transport ability (Van Goor et al., 2014). The A559T variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The A559T variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. Missense variants in nearby residues (including L558S, R560K, R560T, R560S, A561E, V562I, V562L) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with cystic fibrosis (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. We interpret A559T as a pathogenic variant. -

This variant has been reported to be causative for Cystic Fibrosis (referred to as G1807>A in Cutting et al. 1990. PubMed ID: 1695717; Sosnay et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23974870; www.CFTR2.org). In vitro functional studies show this variant affects CFTR protein function (Van Goor et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 23891399). This variant is reported in 0.024% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
