Description
A Heterozygous inframe indel variant c.1520_1522delTCT in Exon 11 of the CFTR gene that results in the amino acid substitution p.Phe508del was identified. The observed variant has a minor allele frequency of 0.00707/0.00800% in gnomAD exomes and genomes, respectively. The severity of the impact of this variant on the protein is medium, based on the effect of the protein and REVEL score . Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner (REVEL) is an ensembl method for predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants based on a combination of scores from 13 individual tools: MutPred, FATHMM v2.3, VEST 3.0, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster, LRT, GERP++, SiPhy, phyloP, and phastCons. The REVEL score for an individual missense variant can range from 0 to 1, with higher scores reflecting greater likelihood that the variant is disease-causing. ClinVar has also classified this variant as Pathogenic. (Variant ID 7105). This variant has been previously reported for Indian patients with congenital absence of the vas deferens by Sharma H et al., 2014. Based on the above evidence this variant has been classified as Pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines.
