Description
This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 87 of the CFTR protein (p.Phe87Ser). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CFTR-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 946044). 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 not expected to disrupt CFTR protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Phe87 amino acid residue in CFTR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CFTR-related conditions (PMID: 8081395, 19181743), 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.
