Analysis of the complete coding region of the CFTR gene in ten Algerian cystic fibrosis families.
Hum Hered. 1999 Mar;49(2):81-4., [PMID:10077727]

Abstract [show]
The spectrum of cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations in the North African population remains poorly known. In order to offer an effective diagnostic service and to determine accurate risk estimates, we decided to identify the CF mutations in 10 Algerian CF families. We carried out a chemical-clamp denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of the CFTR gene and automated direct DNA sequencing. We identified 5 mutations and we characterized 60% of the CF chromosomes. Taking advantage of the homogeneity of the sample, we report clinical features of homozygous CF patients.

Proportion of cystic fibrosis gene mutations not detected by routine testing in men with obstructive azoospermia.
JAMA. 1999 Jun 16;281(23):2217-24., 1999-06-16 [PMID:10376575]

Abstract [show]
CONTEXT: Infertile men with obstructive azoospermia may have mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, many of which are rare in classic cystic fibrosis and not evaluated in most routine mutation screening. OBJECTIVE: To assess how often CFTR mutations or sequence alterations undetected by routine screening are detected with more extensive screening in obstructive azoospermia. DESIGN: Routine screening for the 31 most common CFTR mutations associated with the CF phenotype in white populations, testing for the 5-thymidine variant of the polythymidine tract of intron 8 (IVS8-5T) by allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization, and screening of all exons through multiplex heteroduplex shift analysis followed by direct DNA sequencing. SETTING: Male infertility clinic of a Canadian university-affiliated hospital. SUBJECTS: Of 198 men with obstructive (n = 149) or nonobstructive (n = 49; control group) azoospermia, 64 had congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD), 10 had congenital unilateral absence of the vas deferens (CUAVD), and 75 had epididymal obstruction (56/75 were idiopathic). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Frequency of mutations found by routine and nonroutine tests in men with obstructive vs nonobstructive azoospermia. RESULTS: Frequency of mutations and the IVS8-5T variant in the nonobstructive azoospermia group (controls) (2% and 5.1% allele frequency, respectively) did not differ significantly from that in the general population (2% and 5.2%, respectively). In the CBAVD group, 72 mutations were found by DNA sequencing and IVS8-5T testing (47 and 25, respectively; P<.001 and P = .002 vs controls) vs 39 by the routine panel (P<.001 vs controls). In the idiopathic epididymal obstruction group, 24 mutations were found by DNA sequencing and IVS8-5T testing (12 each; P=.01 and P=.14 vs controls) vs 5 by the routine panel (P=.33 vs controls). In the CUAVD group, 2 mutations were found by routine testing (P=.07 vs controls) vs 4 (2 each, respectively; P=.07 and P=.40 vs controls) by DNA sequencing and IVS8-5T testing. The routine panel did not identify 33 (46%) of 72, 2 (50%) of 4, and 19 (79%) of 24 detectable CFTR mutations and IVS8-5T in the CBAVD, CUAVD, and idiopathic epididymal obstruction groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Routine testing for CFTR mutations may miss mild or rare gene alterations. The barrier to conception for men with obstructive infertility has been overcome by assisted reproductive technologies, thus raising the concern of iatrogenically transmitting pathogenic CFTR mutations to the progeny.

Spectrum of CFTR mutations in Mexican cystic fibrosis patients: identification of five novel mutations (W1098C, 846delT, P750L, 4160insGGGG and 297-1G-->A).
Hum Genet. 2000 Mar;106(3):360-5., [PMID:10798368]

Abstract [show]
We have analyzed 97 CF unrelated Mexican families for mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Our initial screening for 12 selected CFTR mutations led to mutation detection in 56.66% of the tested chromosomes. In patients with at least one unknown mutation after preliminary screening, an extensive analysis of the CFTR gene by single stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) or by multiplex heteroduplex (mHET) analysis was performed. A total of 34 different mutations representing 74.58% of the CF chromosomes were identified, including five novel CFTR mutations: W1098C, P750L, 846delT, 4160insGGGG and 297-1G-->A. The level of detection of the CF mutations in Mexico is still lower than that observed in other populations with a relatively low frequency of the deltaF508 mutation, mainly from southern Europe. The CFTR gene analysis described here clearly demonstrated the high heterogeneity of our CF population, which could be explained by the complex ethnic composition of the Mexican population, in particular by the strong impact of the genetic pool from southern European countries.

Increased frequency of CFTR gene mutations in sarcoidosis: a case/control association study.
Eur J Hum Genet. 2000 Sep;8(9):717-20., [PMID:10980579]

Abstract [show]
A complete screening of the CFTR gene by DGGE and DNA sequencing was performed in patients with sarcoidosis. In 8/26 cases, missense and splicing CFTR gene mutations were found, a significant difference over controls (9/89) from the same population (P = 0.014). The odds ratio for a person with a CFTR gene mutation to develop the disease is 3.95 (1.18 < OR < 13.26). Seven different CFTR gene mutations were observed: R75Q, R347P, 621 + 3 A/G, 1898 + 3 A/G, L997F, G1069R, and a novel mutation which was detected in this study, I991V. R75Q mutation was present in 3/26 patients, a significant increase (P = 0. 01) in cases over controls, indicating its preferential association with sarcoidosis. A trend towards disease progression was observed in patients with CFTR gene mutations compared to patients without mutations. These data suggest that CFTR gene mutations predispose to the development of sarcoidosis.

A combined analysis of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator: implications for structure and disease models.
Mol Biol Evol. 2001 Sep;18(9):1771-88., [PMID:11504857]

Abstract [show]
Over the past decade, nearly 1,000 variants have been identified in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene in classic and atypical cystic fibrosis (CF) patients worldwide, and an enormous wealth of information concerning the structure and function of the protein has also been accumulated. These data, if evaluated together in a sequence comparison of all currently available CFTR homologs, are likely to refine the global structure-function relationship of the protein, which will, in turn, facilitate interpretation of the identified mutations in the gene. Based on such a combined analysis, we had recently defined a "functional R domain" of the CFTR protein. First, presenting two full-length cDNA sequences (termed sCFTR-I and sCFTR-II) from the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and an additional partial coding sequence from the eastern gray kangaroo (Macropus giganteus), this study went further to refine the boundaries of the two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) and the COOH-terminal tail (C-tail), wherein NBD1 was defined as going from P439 to G646, NBD2 as going from A1225 to E1417, and the C-tail as going from E1418 to L1480. This approach also provided further insights into the differential roles of the two halves of CFTR and highlighted several well-conserved motifs that may be involved in inter- or intramolecular interactions. Moreover, a serious concern that a certain fraction of missense mutations identified in the CFTR gene may not have functional consequences was raised. Finally, phylogenetic analysis of all the full-length CFTR amino acid sequences and an extended set of exon 13--coding nucleotide sequences reinforced the idea that the rabbit may represent a better CF model than the mouse and strengthened the assertion that a long-branch attraction artifact separates the murine rodents from the rabbit and the guinea pig, the other Glires.

590 Taking advantage of the previously redefined R domain, a systemic evaluation of the missense mutations occurring in this region was produced, and as a result, some of these mutations, such as F693L, V754M, and T760M, were identified as being likely to represent neutral polymorphisms (Chen, Scotet, and Ferec 2000).

Cystic fibrosis: a worldwide analysis of CFTR mutations--correlation with incidence data and application to screening.
Hum Mutat. 2002 Jun;19(6):575-606., [PMID:12007216]

Abstract [show]
Although there have been numerous reports from around the world of mutations in the gene of chromosome 7 known as CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator), little attention has been given to integrating these mutant alleles into a global understanding of the population molecular genetics associated with cystic fibrosis (CF). We determined the distribution of CFTR mutations in as many regions throughout the world as possible in an effort designed to: 1) increase our understanding of ancestry-genotype relationships, 2) compare mutational arrays with disease incidence, and 3) gain insight for decisions regarding screening program enhancement through CFTR multi-mutational analyses. Information on all mutations that have been published since the identification and cloning of the CFTR gene's most common allele, DeltaF508 (or F508del), was reviewed and integrated into a centralized database. The data were then sorted and regional CFTR arrays were determined using mutations that appeared in a given region with a frequency of 0.5% or greater. Final analyses were based on 72,431 CF chromosomes, using data compiled from over 100 original papers, and over 80 regions from around the world, including all nations where CF has been studied using analytical molecular genetics. Initial results confirmed wide mutational heterogeneity throughout the world; however, characterization of the most common mutations across most populations was possible. We also examined CF incidence, DeltaF508 frequency, and regional mutational heterogeneity in a subset of populations. Data for these analyses were filtered for reliability and methodological strength before being incorporated into the final analysis. Statistical assessment of these variables revealed that there is a significant positive correlation between DeltaF508 frequency and the CF incidence levels of regional populations. Regional analyses were also performed to search for trends in the distribution of CFTR mutations across migrant and related populations; this led to clarification of ancestry-genotype patterns that can be used to design CFTR multi-mutation panels for CF screening programs. From comprehensive assessment of these data, we offer recommendations that multiple CFTR alleles should eventually be included to increase the sensitivity of newborn screening programs employing two-tier testing with trypsinogen and DNA analysis.

256 We considered a possible complex allele in patient no. 9, on a V754M background, as the corresponding part of the R domain is not well conserved among species, residue V754 being a valine in primates but a methionine in rabbit and mouse species. Login to comment

258 The identification of the complex CFTRdele3-10,14b-16 in cis with V754M thus leads to the reconsideration of V754M as probably not disease causing, which will reassure individuals studied for carrier screening who are V754M heterozygotes but do not carry any other mutation/deletion.

Complete cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene sequencing in patients with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis and controls.
Gut. 2005 Oct;54(10):1456-60. Epub 2005 Jun 29., [PMID:15987793]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene-many of which cause cystic fibrosis-have also been reported in patients with chronic pancreatitis. The authors examine whether mild or severe CFTR mutations, homozygous or compound heterozygous CFTR mutations, or even simple cystic fibrosis carrier status alone increases the risk of developing pancreatitis. METHODS: After exclusion of patients with trypsinogen (PRSS1) mutations, cystic fibrosis, or pulmonary disease, and with known risk factors for pancreatitis 67 patients with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) from northwest Germany and 60 geographically and ethnically matched controls were recruited. The entire coding region of the CFTR gene was sequenced in all patients and controls. ICP patients were also analysed for serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) gene mutations. RESULTS: Abnormal CFTR alleles were found to be twice as frequent in ICP patients as in controls (25/134 v 11/120; p<0.05). Three of four severe CFTR mutations detected in patients were compound heterozygous with another abnormal CFTR allele, whereas among controls three severe CFTR mutations were found in heterozygous cystic fibrosis carriers. In ICP patients 19 uncommon/mild mutations, including combinations of the 5T allele with 12TG repeats, were identified compared with only five in controls (p = 0.012). Heterozygous SPINK1 mutations were detected in eight ICP patients (15% v 1% in controls) but only one also carried an additional mild CFTR mutation. CONCLUSIONS: These data show that not only compound heterozygosity, but also cystic fibrosis carrier status for different types of CFTR mutations, including uncommon/mild mutations, significantly increase the risk of developing pancreatitis. Although 45% of the study's ICP patients carried predisposing genetic risk factors (for example, mutations in CFTR or SPINK1), the authors found no evidence that the risk conveyed by CFTR mutations depends on co-inherited SPINK1 mutations.

A new large CFTR rearrangement illustrates the importance of searching for complex alleles.
Hum Mutat. 2006 Jul;27(7):716-7., [PMID:16786510]

Abstract [show]
The p.Val754Met variant, described in 1996 in a CF patient, has been considered a CF mutation. However, biochemical aspects, results of functional studies and, finally, the identification of a complex deletion removing exons 3 to 10 and 14b to 16 in cis of p.Val754Met in a CF patient, argue against a strong deleterious effect. An inventory through the French CF network of patients carrying p.Val754Met led to the registration of seven patients (CF: n=4; idiopathic chronic pancreatitis: n=3) and six healthy individuals, all heterozygous for the variation. Extensive CFTR gene analysis was carried out, including the search for large rearrangements and other possible mutations. The complex deletion, whose breakpoints are described here, was found only in the four CF patients, in association with the same haplotype. This data, added to the fact that the p.[Phe508del]+[Val754Met] genotype was found in a healthy individual, bring further arguments against the association of p.Val754Met with CF. We thus suggest looking for a possible complex allele whenever p.Val754Met is detected and considering it neutral regarding genetic counseling when found in isolation.

9 (c) 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc. KEY WORDS: CFTR; ABCC7; CF; cystic fibrosis; gene rearrangement; complex deletion; complex allele; p.Val754Met INTRODUCTION Cystic fibrosis (CF; MIM# 219700) is one of the most common autosomal recessive hereditary diseases in the Caucasian population. Login to comment
15 The p.Val754Met variant (2392G>A or c.2260G>A according to the approved nomenclature), first described by A.Wallace in 1996 in a CF patient (www.genet.sickkids.on.ca/cftr) and subsequently identified in other CF patients, has therefore been considered a CF mutation. Login to comment
18 However, there have been several lines of evidence against a strong deleterious effect of p.Val754Met: 1) the conservative nature of the Val>Met substitution; 2) the presence of a Met residue in place of Val in some species and the benign nature of the substitution predicted by the SIFT® and Polyphen® softwares; 3) results of functional studies which suggest that residue Val754 does not belong to the functional "R" domain (Chen et al., 2000); 4) finally, the recent identification by semi-quantitative fluorescent multiplex PCR of a complex deletion, CFTRdele3_10,14b_16, removing exons 3 to 10 and 14b to16 in cis of p.Val754Met in a CF patient (Niel et al., 2004). Login to comment
19 The aim of this study was to determine whether we should still consider p.Val754Met as a possible disease-associated mutation or reclassify it as a neutral polymorphism. Login to comment
20 We thus made an inventory of patients and individuals with p.Val754Met, screened for the complex deletion and for other possible CFTR anomalies, and studied the associated CFTR haplotypes. Login to comment
21 Here, we gather lines of evidence that p.Val754Met should be no longer considered as a CF mutation. Login to comment
22 PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients and controls Thirteen patients and individuals from diverse origins and all heterozygous for the p.Val754Met variant, were registered from the French CF network of molecular genetics laboratories (Table 1): seven patients (four having CF and three presenting with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis) and six healthy individuals (an infant, three partners of CF carriers, a CF patient`s relative and a mother of a fetus with bowel anomalies).

41 The frequency of the p.Val754Met variant in the general population has been estimated low in European populations, below 0.17%, as it was found neither among 191 healthy European individuals (Bombieri et al., 2000) nor among 115 healthy French individuals (Girodon et al., 2002). Login to comment
42 As two of our patients carrying p.Val754Met were of Arab origin and one was Turkish, we studied another control population of 116 healthy individuals from Arab (mostly Northern African) or Turkish extraction, who were referred to our laboratory for carrier screening (56 partners of CF carriers and 60 parents of fetuses with bowel anomalies but not affected with CF).

48 Extensive CFTR gene analyses were performed in the patients / individuals carrying p.Val754Met: (i) screening for frequent mutations using diverse commercial assays; (ii) scanning of the 27 exons and their boundaries using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) (Fanen et al., 1992; Costes et al., 1993) or denaturing high pressure liquid phase chromatography (DHPLC) (Le Marechal et al., 2001), followed by sequencing to characterize the variants; (iii) screening for the intronic splicing 1811+1.6kbA>G mutation (c.1679+1634A>G) (Chillon et al., 1995b); (iv) screening for large CFTR rearrangements using a semi-quantitative fluorescent multiplex PCR (QFM-PCR) assay recently developed in our laboratory and which enabled the detection of 20% of the rearrangements among previously unidentified alleles in CF patients (Niel et al., 2004).

50 CFTR haplotype analysis To determine the haplotypes associated with p.Val754Met in isolation and in cis with the complex deletion, five intragenic multiallelic markers were studied: IVS1(CA) [185+10167(CA)17_26] ([c.53+10167(CA)17_26]); IVS8(CA) [1342-307(GT)14_24] ([c.1210-307(GT)14_24]); IVS8(TG)m(T)n [1342-34(TG)9_13(T)5_9] ([c.1210-34(TG)9_13(T)5_9]); IVS17b(TA) [3499+200(TA)7_57] ([c.3367+200(TA)7_57]) and IVS17b(CA) [3499+428(CA)11_19] ([c.3367+428(CA)11_19]).

55 RESULTS Among the 13 patients / individuals carrying p.Val754Met, only the four patients affected with classical CF carried the complex deletion (Fig. Login to comment
57 In all these cases, p.Val754Met was in cis of the deletion. Login to comment
60 In case #8, the healthy infant carried p.Phe508del and p.Val754Met in trans, but not the deletion. Login to comment
61 Chronic pancreatitis patients #6 and 7 carried the IVS8(T)5 variant, albeit linked to different (TG) repeats, but we could not confirm that it was in trans of p.Val754Met. Login to comment
70 Analysis of five intragenic CFTR microsatellites in the patients / individuals carrying p.Val754Met and their families evidenced the same haplotype linked to the complex allele, [IVS1(CA)22; IVS17b(TA)7; IVS17b(CA)17], extended to IVS8(CA)23 and IVS8(TG)10(T)9 in cases 8, 11 and 12 (Table 1).

71 The same haplotype could be linked to p.Val754Met also in cases #5, 7, 9 and 13, despite the absence of a segregation study. Login to comment

80 DISCUSSION An inventory of patients / individuals carrying the p.Val754Met variation through the French CF network of molecular genetics laboratories (dealing with around 10,000 samples for CFTR gene studies per year), led to the registration of 13 patients / individuals. Login to comment
83 Cases #1-5 and 8 with compound heterozygosity for p.Val754Met and a severe mutation (Table 1) are particularly informative and bring further arguments against considering p.Val754Met as a CF-causing mutation. Login to comment
84 The four CF patients carried the complex deletion in cis with p.Val754Met. Login to comment
87 We also hypothesize that p.Val754Met is in cis with p.Phe311Leu rather than with p.Phe508del, because of the putative frequent haplotype linked to p.Phe508del, [IVS1(CA)22; IVS8(CA)23; IVS8(TG)10(T)9; IVS17b(TA)31; IVS17b(CA)13], the other haplotype being identical to that found in other p.Val754Met alleles (Table 1). Login to comment
91 The infant in case #8 carried p.Phe508del and p.Val754Met in trans but neither the deletion nor any other detectable CFTR mutation. Login to comment
94 Later on, the counseling was more reassuring because of the complex deletion identified in cis of p.Val754Met in the meanwhile in patient #1, and the pregnancy was finally continued to term. Login to comment
95 A mild detrimental effect of p.Val754Met cannot be however definitely excluded, and this case is worth clinical follow-up. Login to comment
96 Also, it is not possible to definitely rule out a role of p.Val754Met in the pathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis or other CFTR related diseases. Login to comment
98 However, segregation analysis could not be performed in the families of patients #6 and 7 to determine whether p.Val754Met was in cis or trans of the IVS8(T)5 variant, because of the clinical context (age of patient #6 and decease of patient #7) and the limited value of genetic counseling in these cases. Login to comment
99 Analysis of the literature evidenced other descriptions of p.Val754Met at the heterozygous state, but which are of no further help in considering whether the variant is deleterious or not: in a German patient with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (Weiss et al., 2005) and in a patient from Spain with unexplained disseminated bronchiectasis (Casals et al., 2004). Login to comment
103 It is noteworthy that, while we found p.Val754Met in patients from diverse origins, two patients carrying the deletion were of Arab extraction and one was from Turkey, a cosmopolitan country including European, Middle Eastern and Arab populations. Login to comment
105 The frequency of p.Val754Met in the Caucasian general population appears to be weak: although we could register five unrelated healthy French individuals for this study, p.Val754Met was not found among 191 healthy European individuals (Bombieri et al., 2000) nor among 115 healthy French individuals (Girodon et al., 2002) (allele frequency: below 0.17%). Login to comment
107 Determination of haplotypes linked to p.Val754Met in cis with the deletion or in isolation demonstrated the same haplotype in the four CF patients, consisting of three microsatellites, and extended to five sites in three healthy individuals. Login to comment
108 The same haplotype may be linked to p.Val754Met in four other cases despite the absence of segregation study, while different alleles have been found in two cases (#6 and 10). Login to comment
109 These results, together with the fact that p.Val754Met is located at a CpG dinucleotide and has been found in patients from diverse geographical origins, suggest a possible recurrent event. Login to comment
110 We however hypothesize a founding effect for the complex deletion occurring on a p.Val754Met background, possibly in an Arab population. Login to comment
119 In conclusion, while a mild detrimental effect of p.Val754Met could not be definitely ruled out, there are now strong lines of evidence against a severe deleterious effect and its association with CF. Login to comment
120 This has notable implications for genetic counseling: whenever p.Val754Met is identified, we suggest looking for a possible complex allele, in particular associating the CFTRdele3_10,14b_16 deletion. Login to comment
123 When p.Val754Met is in isolation in non CF patients or healthy individuals, counseling can be reassuring with regard to its transmission in offspring. Login to comment
124 Also, the search for p.Val754Met should not be recommended in their relatives. Login to comment

Identification of CFTR, PRSS1, and SPINK1 mutations in 381 patients with pancreatitis.
Pancreas. 2006 Oct;33(3):221-7., [PMID:17003641]

Abstract [show]
OBJECTIVES: Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive inflammatory disorder leading to irreversible exocrine and/or endocrine impairment. It is well documented that mutations in the cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) gene can cause hereditary pancreatitis. Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and the serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) genes are also associated with pancreatitis. METHODS: We analyzed 381 patients with a primary diagnosis of chronic or recurrent pancreatitis using the Ambry Test: Pancreatitis to obtain comprehensive genetic information for the CFTR, SPINK1, and PRSS1 genes. RESULTS: The results identified 32% (122/381) of patients with 166 mutant CFTR alleles, including 12 novel CFTR variants: 4375-20 A>G, F575Y, K598E, L1260P, G194R, F834L, S573C, 2789 + 17 C>T, 621+83 A>G, T164S, 621+25 A>G, and 3500-19 G>A. Of 122 patients with CFTR mutations, 5.5% (21/381) also carried a SPINK1 mutation, and 1.8% (7/381) carried a PRSS1 mutation. In addition, 8.9% (34/381) of all patients had 1 of 11 different SPINK1 mutations. Another 6.3% (24/381) of the patients had 1 of 8 different PRSS1 mutations. Moreover, 1.3% of the patients (5/381) had 1 PRSS1 and 1 SPINK1 mutation. A total 49% (185/381) of the patients carried one or more mutations. CONCLUSIONS: Comprehensive testing of the CFTR, PRSS1, and SPINK1 genes identified genetic variants in nearly half of all subjects considered by their physicians as candidates for genetic testing. Comprehensive test identified numerous novel variants that would not be identified by standard clinical screening panels.

Molecular characterization of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene in congenital absence of the vas deferens.
Genet Med. 2007 Mar;9(3):163-72., [PMID:17413420]

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: Approximately 20% of patients with congenital absence of the vas deferens remain without two mutations identified. We applied a strategy of serial screening steps to 45 patients with congenital absence of the vas deferens and characterized cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene mutations in all cases. METHODS: DNA samples of 45 patients with congenital absence of the vas deferens were screened by successive different molecular genetics approaches. RESULTS: Initial screening for the 31 most frequent cystic fibrosis mutations, IVS8 poly(TG)m, poly(T)n, and M470V polymorphisms, identified 8 different mutations in 40 patients (88.9%). Extensive cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene analysis by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography, and DNA sequencing detected 17 further mutations, of which three were novel. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene rearrangements were searched by semiquantitative fluorescent multiplex polymerase chain reaction, which detected a CFTRdele2,3 (21 kb) large deletion and confirmed two homozygous mutations. Overall, 42 patients (93.3%) had two mutations and 3 patients (6.7%) had one mutation detected. CONCLUSIONS: The present screening strategy allowed a higher mutation detection rate than previous studies, with at least one cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene mutation found in all patients with congenital absence of the vas deferens.

CFTR regulatory region interacts with NBD1 predominantly via multiple transient helices.
Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2007 Aug;14(8):738-45. Epub 2007 Jul 29., [PMID:17660831]

Abstract [show]
The regulatory (R) region of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is intrinsically disordered and must be phosphorylated at multiple sites for full CFTR channel activity, with no one specific phosphorylation site required. In addition, nucleotide binding and hydrolysis at the nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) of CFTR are required for channel gating. We report NMR studies in the absence and presence of NBD1 that provide structural details for the isolated R region and its interaction with NBD1 at residue-level resolution. Several sites in the R region with measured fractional helical propensity mediate interactions with NBD1. Phosphorylation reduces the helicity of many R-region sites and reduces their NBD1 interactions. This evidence for a dynamic complex with NBD1 that transiently engages different sites of the R region suggests a structural explanation for the dependence of CFTR activity on multiple PKA phosphorylation sites.

Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator mutations in azoospermic and oligospermic men and their partners.
Reprod Biomed Online. 2009 Nov;19(5):685-94., [PMID:20021716]

Abstract [show]
The objective of this study was to investigate the contribution of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) to human infertility and to define screening and counselling procedures for couples asking for assisted reproduction treatment. Extended CFTR mutation screening was performed in 310 infertile men (25 with congenital absence of the vas deferens (CAVD), 116 with non-CAVD azoospermia, 169 with severe oligospermia), 70 female partners and 96 healthy controls. CFTR mutations were detected in the majority (68%) of CAVD patients and in significant proportions in azoospermic (31%) and oligospermic (22%) men. Carrier frequency among partners of infertile men was 16/70, exceeding that of controls (6/96) significantly (P = 0.0005). Thus, in 23% of infertile couples both partners were carriers, increasing the risk for their offspring to inherit two mutations to 25% or 50%. This study emphasizes the necessity to offer extended CFTR mutation screening and counselling not only to patients with CAVD but also to azoospermic and oligozoospermic men and their partners before undergoing assisted reproduction techniques. The identification of rare and/or mild mutations will not be a reason to abstain from parenthood, but will allow adequate treatment in children at risk for atypical or mild cystic fibrosis as soon as they develop any symptoms.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of complex alleles, with two or more mutations in cis position, of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene in the definition of the genotype-phenotype relationship in cystic fibrosis (CF), and to evaluate the functional significance of the highly controversial L997F CFTR mutation. METHODS: We evaluated the diagnosis of CF or CFTR-related disorders in 12 unrelated subjects with highly variable phenotypes. According to a first CFTR mutational analysis, subjects appeared to be compound heterozygotes for a classic mutation and the L997F mutation. A further CFTR mutational analysis was conducted by means of a protocol of extended sequencing, particularly suited to the detection of complex alleles. RESULTS: We detected a new [R117L; L997F] CFTR complex allele in the four subjects with the highest sweat test values and CF. The eight subjects without the complex allele showed the most varied biochemical and clinical outcome and were diagnosed as having mild CF, CFTR-related disorders, or even no disease. CONCLUSIONS: The new complex allele partially explains the variable phenotype in CF subjects with the L997F mutation. CFTR complex alleles are likely to have a role in the definition of the genotype-phenotype relationship in CF. Whenever apparently identical CFTR-mutated genotypes are found in subjects with divergent phenotypes, an extensive mutational search is mandatory.

Characterization of 19 disease-associated missense mutations in the regulatory domain of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.
Hum Mol Genet. 1998 Oct;7(11):1761-9., [PMID:9736778]

Abstract [show]
In order to gain a better insight into the structure and function of the regulatory domain (RD) of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, 19 RD missense mutations that had been identified in patients were functionally characterized. Nine of these (I601F, L610S, A613T, D614G, I618T, L619S, H620P, G628R and L633P) resulted in aberrant processing. No or a very small number of functional CFTR proteins will therefore appear at the cell membrane in cells expressing these mutants. These mutations were clustered in the N-terminal part of the RD, suggesting that this subdomain has a folding pattern that is very sensitive to amino acid changes. Mutations that caused no aberrant processing were further characterized at the electrophysiological level. First, they were studied at the whole cell level in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Mutants that induced a whole cell current that was significantly different from wild-type CFTR were subsequently analysed at the single channel level in COS1 cells transiently expressing the different mutant and wild-type proteins. Three mutant chloride channels, G622D, R792G and E822K CFTR, were characterized by significantly lower intrinsic chloride channel activities compared with wild-type CFTR. Two mutations, H620Q and A800G, resulted in increased intrinsic chloride transport activities. Finally, T665S and E826K CFTR had single channel properties not significantly different from wild-type CFTR.

Complete mutational screening of the CFTR gene in 120 patients with pulmonary disease.

Abstract [show]
In order to determine the possible role of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene in pulmonary diseases not due to cystic fibrosis, a complete screening of the CFTR gene was performed in 120 Italian patients with disseminated bronchiectasis of unknown cause (DBE), chronic bronchitis (CB), pulmonary emphysema (E), lung cancer (LC), sarcoidosis (S) and other forms of pulmonary disease. The 27 exons of the CFTR gene and their intronic flanking regions were analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and automatic sequencing. Mutations were detected in 11/23 DBE (P = 0.009), 7/25 E, 5/27 CB, 5/26 LC, 5/8 S (P = 0.013), 1/4 tuberculosis, and 1/5 pneumonia patients, and in 5/33 controls. Moreover, the IVS8-5T allele was detected in 6/25 E patients (P = 0.038). Four new mutations were identified: D651N, 2377C/T, E826K, and P1072L. These results confirm the involvement of the CFTR gene in disseminated bronchiectasis of unknown origin, and suggest a possible role for CFTR gene mutations in sarcoidosis, and for the 5T allele in pulmonary emphysema.

Molecular evaluation of CFTR sequence variants in male infertility of testicular origin.

Abstract [show]
Although the involvement of the CFTR gene has been well established in congenital agenesia of vas deferens, its role in non-obstructive (NOb) infertility is still a matter of debate. In order to definitively define the involvement of the CFTR gene in spermatogenic impairment and a potential synergistic contribution to known genetic and clinical factors, genetic variants in the entire coding sequence and the immediately flanking regions of the CFTR gene, along with a thorough clinical evaluation, were analysed in 83 NOb infertile patients and 87 clinically well-defined fertile individuals as controls. The results of our study showed no statistical difference between CFTR carrier frequency in the infertile and fertile population. Specifically, the IVS8-6(5T) allele carrier frequency was similar in NOb infertile patients when compared with fertile men, but it is noteworthy that, when fertile men were classified into having optimal and suboptimal fertility, no 5T allele was found among the 35 men with optimal fertility parameters. In conclusion, extensive CFTR analysis in infertile individuals and fertile population as adequate control definitively excludes the involvement of the CFTR gene variants in sperm production and stresses the importance of carefully identifying those individuals with obstructive defects, in whom CFTR screening will be beneficial.

Spectrum of mutations in the CFTR gene in cystic fibrosis patients of Spanish ancestry.
Ann Hum Genet. 2007 Mar;71(Pt 2):194-201., [PMID:17331079]

Abstract [show]
We analyzed 1,954 Spanish cystic fibrosis (CF) alleles in order to define the molecular spectrum of mutations in the CFTR gene in Spanish CF patients. Commercial panels showed a limited detection power, leading to the identification of only 76% of alleles. Two scanning techniques, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and single strand conformation polymorphism/hetroduplex (SSCP/HD), were carried out to detect CFTR sequence changes. In addition, intragenic markers IVS8CA, IVS8-6(T)n and IVS17bTA were also analyzed. Twelve mutations showed frequencies above 1%, p.F508del being the most frequent mutation (51%). We found that eighteen mutations need to be studied to achieve a detection level of 80%. Fifty-one mutations (42%) were observed once. In total, 121 disease-causing mutations were identified, accounting for 96% (1,877 out of 1,954) of CF alleles. Specific geographic distributions for the most common mutations, p.F508del, p.G542X, c.1811 + 1.6kbA > G and c.1609delCA, were confirmed. Furthermore, two other relatively common mutations (p.V232D and c.2789 + 5G > A) showed uneven geographic distributions. This updated information on the spectrum of CF mutations in Spain will be useful for improving genetic testing, as well as to facilitate counselling in people of Spanish ancestry. In addition, this study contributes to defining the molecular spectrum of CF in Europe, and corroborates the high molecular mutation heterogeneity of Mediterranean populations.

Validation of high-resolution DNA melting analysis for mutation scanning of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.
J Mol Diagn. 2008 Sep;10(5):424-34. Epub 2008 Aug 7., [PMID:18687795]

Abstract [show]
High-resolution melting analysis of polymerase chain reaction products for mutation scanning, which began in the early 2000s, is based on monitoring of the fluorescence released during the melting of double-stranded DNA labeled with specifically developed saturation dye, such as LC-Green. We report here the validation of this method to scan 98% of the coding sequence of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. We designed 32 pairs of primers to amplify and analyze the 27 exons of the gene. Thanks to the addition of a small GC-clamp at the 5' ends of the primers, one single melting domain and one identical annealing temperature were obtained to co-amplify all of the fragments. A total of 307 DNA samples, extracted by the salt precipitation method, carrying 221 mutations and 21 polymorphisms, plus 20 control samples free from variations (confirmed by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography analysis), was used. With the conditions described in this study, 100% of samples that carry heterozygous mutations and 60% of those with homozygous mutations were identified. The study of a cohort of 136 idiopathic chronic pancreatitis patients enabled us to prospectively evaluate this technique. Thus, high-resolution melting analysis is a robust and sensitive single-tube technique for screening mutations in a gene and promises to become the gold standard over denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography, particularly for highly mutated genes such as CFTR, and appears suitable for use in reference diagnostic laboratories.

CFTR mutations in the Algerian population.
J Cyst Fibros. 2008 Jan;7(1):54-9. Epub 2007 Jun 14., [PMID:17572159]

Abstract [show]
The nature and frequency of the major CFTR mutations in the North African population remain unclear, although a small number of CFTR mutation detection studies have been done in Algeria and Tunisia, showing largely European mutations such as F508del, G542X and N1303K, albeit at different frequencies, which presumably emerged via population admixture with Caucasians. Some unique mutations were identified in these populations. This is the first study that includes a genetic and clinical evaluation of CF patients living in Algeria. In order to offer an effective diagnostic service and to make accurate risk estimates, we decided to identify the CFTR mutations in 81 Algerian patients. We carried out D-HPLC, chemical-clamp denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, multiplex amplification analysis of the CFTR gene and automated direct DNA sequencing. We identified 15 different mutations which account for 58.5% of the CF chromosomes. We used a quantitative PCR technique (quantitative multiplex PCR short fragment fluorescence analysis) to screen for deletion/duplication in the 27 exons of the gene. Taking advantage of the homogeneity of the sample, we report clinical features of homozygous CF patients. As CFTR mutations have been detected in males with infertility, 46 unrelated Algerian individuals with obstructive azoospermia were also investigated.

Genotyping microarray for the detection of more than 200 CFTR mutations in ethnically diverse populations.
J Mol Diagn. 2005 Aug;7(3):375-87., [PMID:16049310]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis (CF), which is due to mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene, is a common life-shortening disease. Although CF occurs with the highest incidence in Caucasians, it also occurs in other ethnicities with variable frequency. Recent national guidelines suggest that all couples contemplating pregnancy should be informed of molecular screening for CF carrier status for purposes of genetic counseling. Commercially available CF carrier screening panels offer a limited panel of mutations, however, making them insufficiently sensitive for certain groups within an ethnically diverse population. This discrepancy is even more pronounced when such carrier screening panels are used for diagnostic purposes. By means of arrayed primer extension technology, we have designed a genotyping microarray with 204 probe sites for CF transmembrane conductance regulator gene mutation detection. The arrayed primer extension array, based on a platform technology for disease detection with multiple applications, is a robust, cost-effective, and easily modifiable assay suitable for CF carrier screening and disease detection.

A comparison of fluorescent SSCP and denaturing HPLC for high throughput mutation scanning.
Hum Mutat. 2000;15(6):556-64., [PMID:10862085]

Abstract [show]
We examined 67 different mutations in 16 different amplicons in a comparison of mutation detection by fluorescent single strand conformation polymorphism (F-SSCP) and by denaturing HPLC (DHPLC). F-SSCP was used to analyze fluorescent amplicons with internal size standards and automated fragment analysis (GeneScan, PE Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). In DHPLC, unlabelled amplicons were analyzed by reverse phase HPLC with fragment detection by absorbance at 260nm. Both methods had high sensitivity (95-100%) and specificity (100%). Overall, F-SSCP with external temperature control was the more sensitive method, but DHPLC was particularly useful for the rapid analysis of novel fragments.

Definition of a "functional R domain" of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.
Mol Genet Metab. 2000 Sep-Oct;71(1-2):245-9., [PMID:11001817]

Abstract [show]
The R domain of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) was originally defined as 241 amino acids, encoded by exon 13. Such exon/intron boundaries provide a convenient way to define the R domain, but do not necessarily reflect the corresponding functional domain within CFTR. A two-domain model was later proposed based on a comparison of the R-domain sequences from 10 species. While RD1, the N-terminal third of the R domain is highly conserved, RD2, the large central region of the R domain has less rigid structural requirements. Although this two-domain model was given strong support by recent functional analysis data, the simple observation that two of the four main phosphorylation sites are excluded from RD2 clearly indicates that RD2 still does not satisfy the requirements of a "functional R domain." Nevertheless, knowledge of the CFTR structure and function accumulated over the past decade and reevaluated in the context of a comprehensive sequence comparison of 15 CFTR homologues made it possible to define such a "functional R domain," i.e., amino acids C647 to D836. This definition is validated primarily because it contains all of the important potential consensus phosphorylation sequences. In addition, it includes the highly charged motif from E822 to D836. Finally, it includes all of the deletions/insertions in this region. This definition also aids in understanding the effects of missense mutations occurring within this domain.

CFTR gene analysis in Latin American CF patients: heterogeneous origin and distribution of mutations across the continent.
J Cyst Fibros. 2007 May;6(3):194-208. Epub 2006 Sep 11., [PMID:16963320]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most prevalent Mendelian disorder in European populations. Despite the fact that many Latin American countries have a predominant population of European-descent, CF has remained an unknown entity until recently. Argentina and Brazil have detected the first patients around three decades ago, but in most countries this disease has remained poorly documented. Recently, other countries started publishing their results. METHODS: We present a compilation and statistical analysis of the data obtained in 10 countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay and Venezuela), with a total of 4354 unrelated CF chromosomes studied. RESULTS: The results show a wide distribution of 89 different mutations, with a maximum coverage of 62.8% of CF chromosomes/alleles in the patient's sample. Most of these mutations are frequent in Spain, Italy, and Portugal, consistent with the origin of the European settlers. A few African mutations are also present in those countries which were part of the slave trade. New mutations were also found, possibly originating in America. CONCLUSION: The profile of mutations in the CFTR gene, which reflects the heterogeneity of its inhabitants, shows the complexity of the molecular diagnosis of CF mutations in most of the Latin American countries.

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: This two decade long study presents a comprehensive overview of the CFTR mutation distribution in a representative cohort of 600 Czech CF patients derived from all regions of the Czech Republic. METHODS: We examined the most common CF-causing mutations using the Elucigene CF-EU2v1 assay, followed by MLPA, mutation scanning and/or sequencing of the entire CFTR coding region and splice site junctions. RESULTS: We identified 99.5% of all mutations (1194/1200 CFTR alleles) in the Czech CF population. Altogether 91 different CFTR mutations, of which 20 were novel, were detected. One case of de novo mutation and a novel polymorphism was revealed. CONCLUSION: The commercial assay achieved 90.7%, the MLPA added 1.0% and sequencing increased the detection rate by 7.8%. These comprehensive data provide a basis for the improvement of CF DNA diagnostics and/or newborn screening in our country. In addition, they are relevant to related Central European populations with lower mutation detection rates, as well as to the sizeable North American "Bohemian diaspora".

Defining the disease liability of variants in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene.
Nat Genet. 2013 Oct;45(10):1160-7. doi: 10.1038/ng.2745. Epub 2013 Aug 25., [PMID:23974870]

Abstract [show]
Allelic heterogeneity in disease-causing genes presents a substantial challenge to the translation of genomic variation into clinical practice. Few of the almost 2,000 variants in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene CFTR have empirical evidence that they cause cystic fibrosis. To address this gap, we collected both genotype and phenotype data for 39,696 individuals with cystic fibrosis in registries and clinics in North America and Europe. In these individuals, 159 CFTR variants had an allele frequency of l0.01%. These variants were evaluated for both clinical severity and functional consequence, with 127 (80%) meeting both clinical and functional criteria consistent with disease. Assessment of disease penetrance in 2,188 fathers of individuals with cystic fibrosis enabled assignment of 12 of the remaining 32 variants as neutral, whereas the other 20 variants remained of indeterminate effect. This study illustrates that sourcing data directly from well-phenotyped subjects can address the gap in our ability to interpret clinically relevant genomic variation.

Improving newborn screening for cystic fibrosis using next-generation sequencing technology: a technical feasibility study.
Genet Med. 2015 Feb 12. doi: 10.1038/gim.2014.209., [PMID:25674778]

Abstract [show]
Purpose:Many regions have implemented newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) using a limited panel of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) mutations after immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) analysis. We sought to assess the feasibility of further improving the screening using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology.Methods:An NGS assay was used to detect 162 CFTR mutations/variants characterized by the CFTR2 project. We used 67 dried blood spots (DBSs) containing 48 distinct CFTR mutations to validate the assay. NGS assay was retrospectively performed on 165 CF screen-positive samples with one CFTR mutation.Results:The NGS assay was successfully performed using DNA isolated from DBSs, and it correctly detected all CFTR mutations in the validation. Among 165 screen-positive infants with one CFTR mutation, no additional disease-causing mutation was identified in 151 samples consistent with normal sweat tests. Five infants had a CF-causing mutation that was not included in this panel, and nine with two CF-causing mutations were identified.Conclusion:The NGS assay was 100% concordant with traditional methods. Retrospective analysis results indicate an IRT/NGS screening algorithm would enable high sensitivity, better specificity and positive predictive value (PPV). This study lays the foundation for prospective studies and for introducing NGS in NBS laboratories.Genet Med advance online publication 12 February 2015Genetics in Medicine (2015); doi:10.1038/gim.2014.209.

J Cyst Fibros. 2015 Sep;14(5):646-53. doi: 10.1016/j.jcf.2015.02.012. Epub 2015 Mar 18., [PMID:25797027]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Although several comprehensive studies have evaluated the role of the CFTR gene in idiopathic diffuse bronchiectasis (DB), it remains controversial. METHODS: We analyzed the whole coding region of the CFTR gene, its flanking regions and the promoter in 47 DB patients and 47 controls. Available information about demographic, spirometric, radiological and microbiological data for the DB patients was collected. Unclassified CFTR variants were in vitro functionally assessed. RESULTS: CFTR variants were identified in 24 DB patients and in 27 controls. DB variants were reclassified based on the results of in silico predictive analyses, in vitro functional assays and data from epidemiological and literature databases. Except for the sweat test value, no clear genotype-phenotype correlation was observed. CONCLUSIONS: DB should not be considered a classical autosomal recessive CFTR-RD. Moreover, although further investigations are necessary, we proposed a new class of "Non-Neutral Variants" whose impact on lung disease requires more studies.

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: The Clinical and Functional Translation of CFTR project (CFTR2) classified some cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene variants as non-cystic fibrosis (CF)-causing. To evaluate this, the clinical status of children carrying these mutations was examined. METHODS: We analyzed CF disease-defining variables over 2-6 years in two groups of California CF screen- positive neonates born from 2007 to 2011: (1) children with two CF-causing variants and (2) children with one CF-causing and one non-CF-causing variant, as defined by CFTR2. RESULTS: Children carrying non-CF-causing variants had significantly higher birth weight, lower immunoreactive trypsinogen and sweat chloride values, higher first year growth curves, and a lower rate of persistent Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization compared to children with two CF-causing variants. CONCLUSIONS: The outcomes in children 2-6 years of age with the L997F, G576A, R1162L, V754M, R668C, R31C, and S1235R variants are consistent with the CFTR2 non-CF-causing classification.

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a monogenic disease caused by mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The genotype-phenotype relationship in this disease is still unclear, and diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic challenges persist. We enrolled 610 patients with different forms of CF and studied them from a clinical, biochemical, microbiological and genetic point of view. Overall, there were 125 different mutated alleles (11 with novel mutations and 10 with complex mutations) and 225 genotypes. A strong correlation between mutational patterns at the genotypic level and phenotypic macrocategories emerged. This specificity appears to largely depend on rare and individual mutations, as well as on the varying prevalence of common alleles in different clinical macrocategories. However, 19 genotypes appeared to underlie different clinical forms of the disease. The dissection of the pathway from the CFTR mutated genotype to the clinical phenotype allowed to identify at least two components of the variability usually found in the genotype-phenotype relationship. One component seems to depend on the genetic variation of CFTR, the other component on the cumulative effect of variations in other genes and cellular pathways independent from CFTR. The experimental dissection of the overall biological CFTR pathway appears to be a powerful approach for a better comprehension of the genotype-phenotype relationship. However, a change from an allele-oriented to a genotypic-oriented view of CFTR genetics is mandatory, as well as a better assessment of sources of variability within the CFTR pathway.

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: We present in this study our 10years experience in prenatal diagnosis of cystic fibrosis performed in the Tunisian population. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Based on family history, 40 Tunisian couples were selected for prenatal diagnosis. Fetal DNA was isolated from amniotic fluid collected by transabdominal amniocentesis or from chronic villi by transcervical chorionic villus sampling. The genetic analysis for cystic fibrosis mutations was performed by denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis and denaturing high-pressure liquid phase chromatography. We performed microsatellites analysis by capillary electrophoresis in order to verify the absence of maternal cell contamination. RESULTS: Thirteen fetuses were affected, 21 were heterozygous carriers and 15 were healthy with two normal alleles of CFTR gene. Ten couples opted for therapeutic abortion. The microsatellites genotyping showed the absence of contamination of the fetal DNA by maternal DNA in 93.75%. CONCLUSION: Our diagnostic strategy provides rapid and reliable prenatal diagnosis at risk families of cystic fibrosis.

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common indications for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for single gene disorders, giving couples the opportunity to conceive unaffected children without having to consider termination of pregnancy. However, there are no available standardized protocols, so that each center has to develop its own diagnostic strategies and procedures. Furthermore, reproductive decisions are complicated by the diversity of disease-causing variants in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene and the complexity of correlations between genotypes and associated phenotypes, so that attitudes and practices toward the risks for future offspring can vary greatly between countries. On behalf of the EuroGentest Network, eighteen experts in PGD and/or molecular diagnosis of CF from seven countries attended a workshop held in Montpellier, France, on 14 December 2011. Building on the best practice guidelines for amplification-based PGD established by ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology), the goal of this meeting was to formulate specific guidelines for CF-PGD in order to contribute to a better harmonization of practices across Europe. Different topics were covered including variant nomenclature, inclusion criteria, genetic counseling, PGD strategy and reporting of results. The recommendations are summarized here, and updated information on the clinical significance of CFTR variants and associated phenotypes is presented.European Journal of Human Genetics advance online publication, 27 May 2015; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2015.99.
