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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Mar 07, 2018	The c.2657+5G>A variant in CFTR represents 0.3-0.48% of alleles identified in in dividuals with cystic fibrosis (McKone 2003, Watson 2004, Boeck 2014). RNA studi es have shown that the c.2657+5G>A causes aberrant splicing, resulting in the sk ipping of exons 15 and 16 and leading to a significantly decreased expression of CFTR (Masvidal 2014, Sharma 2014). Accordingly, this variant is considered as a class V variant, leading to reduced amounts of functioning CFTR protein. It has been identified in 19/126716 European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Dat abase (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs80224560). Although thi s variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough t o be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. Moreover, the c.2657+5G>A va riant was classified as Pathogenic on March 3, 2004 by the American College of M edical Genetics and Genomics (ClinVar SCV000071401.2). In summary, the c.2657+5G >A variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for CFTR-related disord ers, including cystic fibrosis, in an autosomal recessive manner based upon its frequency in affected individuals and functional evidence.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 02, 2024	This sequence change falls in intron 16 of the CFTR gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CFTR protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs80224560, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 12767731, 17347447, 19550280, 21520337, 22020151, 23751316, 23974870, 25122143). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as c.2789+5G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38497). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 24129438, 25066652). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 12, 2022	The c.2657+5G>A intronic pathogenic mutation (also known as 2789+5G>A) results from a G to A substitution 5 nucleotides after coding exon 16 in the CFTR gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. This alteration was reported in 88 individuals with cystic fibrosis, of which 61 were compound heterozygous with p.F508del; these individuals had elevated sweat chloride levels, pulmonary symptoms, normal gastrointestinal function, and approximately 60% were pancreatic insufficient (Dugu&eacute;p&eacute;roux I et al. Eur. Respir. J., 2005 Mar;25:468-73). In another study, individuals who were homozygous for this mutation in a consanguineous family presented with mild obstructive lung disease, abnormal sweat chloride levels, and pancreatic sufficiency. In addition, mRNA levels in the nasal epithelium from these individuals were 4% of wild-type (Highsmith WE et al. Hum. Mutat., 1997;9:332-8). An in vitro minigene assay had concordant findings and showed that this mutation reduces protein expression to <10% of wild type (Sosnay PR et al. Nat. Genet., 2013 Oct;45:1160-7). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Feb 15, 2018	The c.2657+5G>A variant in the CFTR gene (also reported as c.2789+5G>A due to alternate nomenclature) has been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, with a variant frequency of 0.38% among individuals with clinically diagnosed cystic fibrosis (McKone et al., 2003; Watson et al., 2004; De Boeck et al., 2014). Functional studies have shown that c.2657+5G>A causes aberrant splicing and results in the skipping of exon 16. Also, very low levels of CFTR are expressed in mutant cell lines (Masvidal et al., 2014; Sharma et al., 2014). The c.2657+G>A variant was not observed at any significant frequency in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. We interpret c.2657+5G>A as a pathogenic variant. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Jul 14, 2023	The CFTR c.2657+5G>A variant has been reported in the published literature in the homozygous state or compound heterozygous state with other CF variants in individuals with CF and CF-related disorders (PMIDs: 12767731 (2003), 15371902 (2004), 15738290 (2005), 17347447 (2007), 22658665 (2012), 24440181 (2014), 24129438 (2014), 25122143 (2015)). Functional studies have described this variant as a Class V variant, causing aberrant splicing, exon 16 skipping, and partial loss of the CFTR protein (PMIDs: 9101293 (1997), 24129438 (2014), 25066652 (2014)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00078 (9/11610 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant may affect proper CFTR mRNA splicing. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Apr 05, 2023	The CFTR c.2657+5G>A variant (rs80224560), also known as 2789+5G>A, is reported in the medical literature in multiple individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), with about half of those individuals diagnosed with the pancreatic sufficient form of CF (Sosnay 2013). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 38497), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.007% (20/282870 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Computational analyses (Alamut v.2.11) predict that this variant alters splicing, and functional studies reveal that the variant leads to the production of an aberrant transcript, while reducing full-length transcripts to 4% of normal levels (Highsmith 1997). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Highsmith WE Jr et al.

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences	Apr 04, 2024	The CFTR c.2657+5G>A variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant (also known as 2789+5G>A in the literature) is predicted and functionally proven to result in aberrant splicing and skipping of exon 16 due to disruption of the splice donor site (Masvidal et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24129438). This variant has been previously reported to be causative for cystic fibrosis (e.g., Duguépéroux and Braekeleer. 2005. PubMed ID: 15738290; Masvidal et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24129438; Supplementary data, Sosnay et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23974870). This variant is reported in 0.015% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CFTR c.2657+5G>A alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. Three predict the variant weakens a 5' donor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.2e-05 in 277224 control chromosomes. The c.2657+5G>A variant has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
