Description
The CFTR c.1270G>A; p.Gly424Ser variant (rs371107552) has been reported in two individuals from a family with rheumatoid arthritis and bronchiectasis (Puechal 2011), and reported to cause exon 9 skipping in a portion of transcripts (Pagani 2003, Aissat 2013). However, this variant occurs in a weakly conserved amino acid (Chen 2001), and computational algorithms (SIFT, PolyPhen2, MutationTaster) predict this variant to be tolerated. This variant is reported in the ClinVar database as uncertain (Variation ID: 286406), and observed in general population databases with overall allele frequencies of 0.015 percent (2/12966 alleles, Exome Variant Server), and 0.008 percent (21/272812 alleles, Genome Aggregation Database), but is considered a low confidence variant in the database due to segmental duplication. Based on the above information, the clinical significance of p.Gly424Ser is uncertain at this time.
