Cystic fibrosis Uncertain:5
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 213 of the CFTR protein (p.Gly213Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs775701644, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of CFTR-related conditions (PMID: 19318035). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411118). 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 (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -

This CFTR variant (rs775701644) is rare (<0.1%) in large population datasets (gnomAD: 9/282824 total alleles; 0.003%; no homozygotes). Two submitters in ClinVar classify this variant as uncertain clinical significance. CFTR c.638G>A has been identified in two patients who also carry a second damaging CFTR variant, however, the phenotypic information provided is discrepant. Of two bioinformatics tools queried, one predicts that the substitution would be probably damaging, while the second predicts that it would be tolerated. The glycine residue at this position is highly evolutionarily conserved across most species assessed. The clinical significance of c.638G>A is uncertain at this time. -

The p.G213E variant (also known as c.638G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 638. The glycine at codon 213 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was observed in a 3 year old male with a positive newborn screening test and borderline sweat chloride results. The infant was also reported to be heterozygous for the p.R352Q pathogenic mutation, phase unknown (Seia M, Clin. Biochem. 2009 May; 42(7-8):611-6). 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 the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The CFTR c.638G>A; p.Gly213Glu variant (rs775701644) is reported in the literature in individuals affected with cystic fibrosis, but without clear disease association (Lucarelli 2017), and in the compound heterozygous state with a second pathogenic variant in an individual with a positive newborn screen by immunoreactive trypsinogen assay but normal sweat chloride levels (Seia 2009). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 411118), and is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.007% (9/129140 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The glycine at codon 213 is highly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT: tolerated, PolyPhen-2: probably damaging) predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function. Given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.Gly213Glu variant is uncertain at this time. References: Lucarelli M et al.

Variant summary: CFTR c.638G>A (p.Gly213Glu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, 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 allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 251458 control chromosomes. c.638G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with or with inconclusive diagnosis of CFTR, without strong evidence for causality (Seia_2009, Lucarelli_2017, Skov_2020, Raraigh_2022). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cystic Fibrosis. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately 19.4% of normal chloride channel conductance relative to wild type (e.g., Bihler_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 19318035, 28736296, 31682332, 34782259, 38388235). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411118). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
