Description
Variant summary: CFTR c.2816A>G (p.His939Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. Additionally, several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: three predict the variant creates a 5' donor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing, resulting in the activation of a cryptic 5' donor site and leading to a frameshift (e.g., Lee_2017). The variant was absent in 251404 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2816A>G has been reported in the literature as an isolated variant in individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis (at least two ascertainments; e.g., Claustres_2000, Trimble_2018), CBAVD (at least one ascertainment; e.g., Claustres_2000), newborns with very high immunoreactive trypsinogen levels (at least one ascertainment; e.g., Kay_2015). It has also been reported as a complex allele in cis with p.H949L and another disease causing CF variant in trans (i.e., compound heterozygous genotype) in patients with CF (at least four ascertainments) and CFTR-RD (at-least one ascertainment) (e.g., Polizzi_2011, Diana_2016, Paganin_2015). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (e.g., Carveth_2002, Lee_2017, Joynt_2020). Two of these publications report that both transcripts that were improperly spliced due to the variant as well as transcripts with the variant and no introns resulted in loss of mature CFTR protein (Lee_2017, Joynt_2020). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 12186867, 10923036, 26911355, 33085659, 26098992, 28475858, 25898134, 21931512, 29371133). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 53573). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
