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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesFeb 07, 2023The CFTR c.4243-7del variant (rs878854021), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in the CFTR- France database in 2 individuals with CBAVD when found in trans with another pathogenic variant (see link). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 237857) and is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.005% (5/112352 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This is an intronic deletion, and computational analyses (Alamut Visual Plus v.1.5.1) predict that this variant may impact splicing by weakening the nearby canonical acceptor splice site. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Link to CFTR France: https://cftr.iurc.montp.inserm.fr/cftr/ -
Cystic fibrosis Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingJohns Hopkins Genomics, Johns Hopkins UniversityJun 06, 2023This CFTR intronic variant (rs878854021) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomADv3.1.2: 6/152142 total alleles; 0.004%; no homozygotes) and has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID:237857). It has not been reported in the literature in individuals with cystic fibrosis, to our knowledge. Bioinformatic analysis predicts that this intronic variant may weaken the native acceptor splice site although this has not been confirmed experimentally to our knowledge. We consider the clinical significance of CFTR c.4243-7del to be uncertain at this time. -
