Description
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 551 of the CFTR protein (p.Gly551Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs121909013, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 1944451, 7606851, 23974870). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as 1783G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7142). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CFTR protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CFTR function (PMID: 11242048, 22293084). This variant disrupts the p.Gly551 amino acid residue in CFTR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1379413, 1695717, 8605891, 19734299). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
