Description

Variant summary: CFTR c.1687T>C (p.Tyr563His) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter-like, ATP-binding domain (IPR003439) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250432 control chromosomes. c.1687T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis without reported second variant (e.g. Krenkova_2013, daSilvaFilho_2021). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cystic Fibrosis. A different variant affecting the same codon has been classified as pathogenic by our lab (c.1687T>A, p.Tyr563Asn), supporting the critical relevance of codon 563 to CFTR protein function. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately 2% of normal chloride channel conductance relative to wild type (e.g., Bihler_2024). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 38388235, 23276700, 32819855). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 618927). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
