Description

The c.1521_1523delCTT pathogenic variant in the CFTR gene (also known as p.Phe508del or delta F508) is the most common variant identified in the CFTR gene, with up to 90% of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) having at least one copy of the c.1521_1523delCTT variant (Cai et al., 2011). The c.1521_1523delCTT variant results in an in-frame deletion of a single Phenylalanine residue at codon 508. Individuals who are homozygous for the c.1521_1523delCTT variant demonstrate the classic features of CF, whereas individuals compound heterozygous for the c.1521_1523delCTT variant and another CFTR variant may have a modified disease phenotype (Ong et al., 2017). Heterozygous carriers of the c.1521_1523delCTT variant are usually asymptomatic, however, may be at increased risk for developing a CFTR-related disorder, as an increased prevalence of single CFTR pathogenic variants has been observed among individuals with chronic pulmonary conditions, CAVD and pancreatitis (Cuppens et al., 2004; Bombieri et al., 2011). We interpret the c.1521_1523delCTT variant as a pathogenic variant.

Description

The c.1521_1523del (p.Phe508del or Delta F508) pathogenic variant is an in-frame deletion of the phenylalanine amino acid at position p.508 of the CFTR protein. It is the most common cystic fibrosis pathogenic variant that accounts for approximately 70% of alleles in affected patients and causes a severe phenotype due to deleterious effects on CFTR protein maturation and function (PMID: 23857699 (2013), 23974870 (2013), 25148434 (2014), and 26581802 (2016)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Description

The CFTR p.F508del variant is the most common variant known to cause cystic fibrosis (CF); this variant acounts for ~70% of CFTR variants and is present in approximately 85% of CF patients worldwide (Maiuri_2015_PMID:26046070). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs113993960) and ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, Laboratory for Molecular Medicine and 20+ other laboratories). The variant was identified in control databases in 2027 of 282630 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.007172 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: European (non-Finnish) in 1598 of 129034 chromosomes (freq: 0.01238), Other in 49 of 7214 chromosomes (freq: 0.006792), Ashkenazi Jewish in 58 of 10368 chromosomes (freq: 0.005594), Latino in 135 of 35426 chromosomes (freq: 0.003811), African in 65 of 24958 chromosomes (freq: 0.002604), European (Finnish) in 61 of 25074 chromosomes (freq: 0.002433) and South Asian in 61 of 30608 chromosomes (freq: 0.001993), but was not observed in the East Asian population. This variant is an in-frame deletion resulting in the removal of a phenylalanine (F) residue at codon 508; the deletion of p.F508 results in a misfolded mutant protein that is prematurely degraded before it reaches the plasma membrane (Maiuri_2015_PMID:26046070). In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
