Cystic fibrosis Uncertain:5Benign:1
This sequence change replaces glycine with serine at codon 544 of the CFTR protein (p.Gly544Ser). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glycine and serine. This variant is present in population databases (rs762224063, ExAC 0.05%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis or infertility (PMID: 10376575, 10923036, 20021716). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555335). 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 tolerated. 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.

The p.G544S variant (also known as c.1630G>A), located in coding exon 12 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1630. The glycine at codon 544 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was described in the heterozygous state in a newborn with normal sweat test result at birth and four months old (Férec C et al. Hum. Genet., 1995 Nov;96:542-8). This alteration was reported in a male with idiopathic epididymal obstruction in conjunction with the 5T allele; however, the phase was not provided (Mak V et al. JAMA, 1999 Jun;281:2217-24). This alteration was also detected as heterozygous in 1/169 oligospermic men (Gallati S et al. Reprod Biomed Online, 2009 Nov;19:685-94). This amino acid position is highly 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.

The missense variant p.G544S in CFTR (NM_000492.4) has been reported previously in affected individuals with trypisinemia but no elevated sweat chloride as well as infertile men with oligospermia (Scotet V et al,Gallati S et al). The variant has been submitted to ClinVar as Uncertain Significance. The p.G544S variant is observed in an allele frequency of 0.05% in gnomAD Exomes and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. The p.G544S missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The glycine residue at codon 544 of CFTR is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.1630 in CFTR is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance.
not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: CFTR c.1630G>A (p.Gly544Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter-like domain and AAA+ ATPase domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.6e-05 in 251536 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1630G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with cystic fibrosis (Vaidyanathan_2022), neonatal hypertrypsinemia without elevated sweat chloride (Ferec_1995, Scotet_2001) and an infertile male with oligospermia (Gallati_2009). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Chronic Pancreatitis Risk. Co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported in an individual tested for pancreatitis (SPINK1 c.101A>G, p.N34S). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately 73% of normal chloride channel conductance relative to wild type (Bihler_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 8530001, 11168024, 20021716, 10376575, 35857025, 38388235). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555335). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
