Description
This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 938 of the CFTR protein (p.Val938Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs193922511, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with cystic fibrosis, unilateral congenital absence of the vas deferens, or bilateral absence of the vas deferens (PMID: 9272157, 17329263, 28603918). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 35850). 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 with a negative predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Val938 amino acid residue in CFTR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CFTR-related conditions (PMID: 9272157, 17329263, 28603918, 32777524, 36437957), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
