Description

Variant summary: CFTR c.3274T>C (p.Tyr1092His) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, transmembrane domain (IPR011527) of the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251172 control chromosomes. c.3274T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cystic Fibrosis in compound heterozygosity with known- or likely pathogenic variants (Trujillano_2013, Prontera_2016). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect resulted in approximately (18.5)% 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: 26990548, 34140271, 38388235, 35273129, 11504857, 27728908, 25735457, 25087612, 23687349, 41019016). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 495930). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic.
