Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 170 of the CFTR protein (p.Arg170Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs578029902, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with alcohol-related pancreatitis and congenital absence of the vas deferens (PMID: 14526128, 15097853, 15126740, 24958810). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 455782). 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: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant disrupts the p.Arg170 amino acid residue in CFTR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CFTR-related conditions (PMID: 16189704, 16617247, 21520337), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. 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.

Description

The p.R170C variant (also known as c.508C>T), located in coding exon 5 of the CFTR gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 508. The arginine at codon 170 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was detected in an individual with alcohol related pancreatitis in conjunction with p.F508del (Bernardino AL et al. JOP, 2003 Sep;4:169-77). This variant was also identified in one individual with alcohol related pancreatitis and infertility and one individual diagnosed with congenital absence of the vas deferens (Casals T et al. Pancreas, 2004 May;28:374-9; Sharma H et al. Mol. Hum. Reprod., 2014 Sep;20:827-35). In addition, this variant was identified in a control individual (Le Marechal et al. Hum Genet. 2001 Apr;108(4):290-8). This alteration was also identified in an individual diagnosed with cystic fibrosis however further details were not provided (Erdoan M et al. Balkan Med J, 2021 Nov;38:357-364). 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 available evidence to date, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Description

This CFTR missense variant has been identified in individuals features of cystic fibrosis but not a classic cystic fibrosis phenotype. This variant (rs578029902) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomADv2.1.1: 13/ 250410 total alleles; 0.005%; no homozygotes) and has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 455782). Two bioinformatic tools queried predict that this substitution would be damaging and the arginine residue at this position is evolutionarily conserved across most species assessed. We consider the clinical significance of CFTR c.508C>T to be uncertain at this time.
