Description
This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 826 of the CFTR protein (p.Glu826Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs397508381, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis (PMID: 27728908, 28603918). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53495). 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: 9736778, 9849891). 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.
