Predicted by PolyPhen as Probably Damaging; Align GVGD classifies it as C65 (most likely to interfere with function); highly conserved nucleotide and amino acid. c.3848G>A , p.Arg1283Lys (CFTR1) ? , This mutation in exon 20 of the CFTR gene was caused by a G to A substitution at nucleotide 3980. This change creates a MboII site giving a similar pattern (fragments of almost the same sixe) as G1244E and destroys the same MnII site as W1282X. It was found on a french CF chromosomes bearing haplotype C and appears to be rare: 1 out of 1200 CF chromosomes and was never found on 200 normal chromosomes studied. As the Arginine at this position is not always conserved and as tis change is not severe we are not sure that this substitution is a disease causing mutation. c.3848G>T , p.Arg1283Met (CFTR1) ? , The mutation destroys the same Mnl I restriction site as W1282X and consequently some members of the consortium may have to recharacterize their W1282X mutants if they were originally identififed through this digest. R1283M creates a Fok I site and can also be detected using some ASo's . This mutation is present is present in 3 unrelated patients in our population and thus accounts for 0.8% of our chromosomes. Two of the patients are of Welsh descent and the third is of either English or Welsh descent. All three of the individuals have moderate to severe phenotypes. Since this mutation is not present on 51 normal chromosomes nor on 85 [delta]F508 chromosomes, and since it would cause a non-conservative amino acid substituion, we believe that it is a disease causing mutation.

Two buffer PAGE system-based SSCP/HD analysis: a general protocol for rapid and sensitive mutation screening in cystic fibrosis and any other human genetic disease.
Eur J Hum Genet. 1999 Jul;7(5):590-8., [PMID:10439967]

Abstract [show]
The large size of many disease genes and the multiplicity of mutations complicate the design of an adequate assay for the identification of disease-causing variants. One of the most successful methods for mutation detection is the single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique. By varying temperature, gel composition, ionic strength and additives, we optimised the sensitivity of SSCP for all 27 exons of the CFTR gene. Using simultaneously SSCP and heteroduplex (HD) analysis, a total of 80 known CF mutations (28 missense, 22 frameshift, 17 nonsense, 13 splicesite) and 20 polymorphisms was analysed resulting in a detection rate of 97.5% including the 24 most common mutations worldwide. The ability of this technique to detect mutations independent of their nature, frequency, and population specificity was confirmed by the identification of five novel mutations (420del9, 1199delG, R560S, A613T, T1299I) in Swiss CF patients, as well as by the detection of 41 different mutations in 198 patients experimentally analysed. We present a three-stage screening strategy allowing analysis of seven exons within 5 hours and analysis of the entire coding region within 1 week, including sequence analysis of the variants. Additionally, our protocol represents a general model for point mutation analysis in other genetic disorders and has already been successfully established for OTC deficiency, collagene deficiency, X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM), Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD, BMD), Wilson disease (WD), Neurofibromatosis I and II, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies, and defects in mitochondrial DNA. No other protocol published so far presents standard SSCP/HD conditions for mutation screening in different disease genes.

Unilateral renal agenesis associated with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens: phenotypic findings and genetic considerations.
Hum Reprod. 2001 Feb;16(2):282-8., [PMID:11157821]

Abstract [show]
An association between congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD), normal renal anatomy and cystic fibrosis (CF) gene mutations is well established (CF/CBAVD). We postulate that unilateral renal agenesis (URA) and CBAVD (URA/CBAVD) may have a non-CF mutation-mediated genetic basis that leads to abnormal development of the entire mesonephric duct at a very early stage in embryo development (< or =7 weeks). The physical, laboratory and radiographic findings of men with URA/CBAVD (n = 17) and CF/CBAVD (n = 97) were compared; the fertilization and pregnancy rates in the URA/CBAVD population calculated, and the incidence of renal agenesis in immediate family members and offspring of men with URA/CBAVD analysed. No statistical differences could be identified within any of the above comparisons. The fertilization rate for the URA/CBAVD group was 58.2 +/- 26.3%. Eight infants and two fetuses had normal renal anatomy, while one terminated male fetus had bilateral renal and vasal agenesis. Thirty first-order relatives had normal renal units. Anatomical expression of the reproductive ductal derivatives in men with URA/CBAVD and CF/CBAVD was similar, but the phenotypic outcome of the renal portion of the mesonephric duct was different. The potential for transmission of this fatal anomaly reinforces the need for prenatal ultrasounds with all pregnancies involving URA/CBAVD men.

Improved detection of cystic fibrosis mutations in the heterogeneous U.S. population using an expanded, pan-ethnic mutation panel.
Genet Med. 2001 May-Jun;3(3):168-76., [PMID:11388756]

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: To determine the comparative frequency of 93 CFTR mutations in U.S. individuals with a clinical diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF). METHODS: A total of 5,840 CF chromosomes from Caucasians, Ashkenazi Jews, Hispanics, African Americans, Native Americans, Asians, and individuals of mixed race were analyzed using a pooled ASO hybridization strategy. RESULTS: Sixty-four mutations provided a sensitivity of 70% to 95% in all ethnic groups except Asians, and at least 81% when the U.S. population was considered as a whole. CONCLUSIONS: For population-based carrier screening for CF in the heterogeneous U.S. population, which is characterized by increasing admixture, a pan-ethnic mutation panel of 50 to 70 CFTR mutations may provide a practical test that maximizes sensitivity.

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.

Analysis by mass spectrometry of 100 cystic fibrosis gene mutations in 92 patients with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.
Hum Reprod. 2002 Aug;17(8):2066-72., [PMID:12151438]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Limited mutation analysis for congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) has revealed only a minority of men in whom two distinct mutations were detected. We aimed to determine whether a more extensive mutation analysis would be of benefit in genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis. METHODS: We studied a cohort of 92 men with CBAVD using mass spectrometry and primer oligonucleotide base extension to analyse an approximately hierarchical set of the most common 100 CF mutations. RESULTS: Analysis of 100 CF mutations identified 33/92 (35.9%) patients with two mutations and 29/92 (31.5%) with one mutation, compound heterozygosity accounting for 94% (31/33) of those with two mutations. This panel detected 12.0% more CBAVD men with at least one mutation and identified a second mutation in >50% of those considered to be heterozygotes under the two routine 25 mutation panel analyses. CONCLUSION: Compound heterozygosity of severe/mild mutations accounted for the vast majority of the CBAVD patients with two mutations, and underscores the value of a more extensive CF mutation panel for men with CBAVD. The CF100 panel enables higher carrier detection rates especially for men with CBAVD, their partners, partners of known CF carriers, and those with 'mild' CF with rarer mutations.

CFTR mutation distribution among U.S. Hispanic and African American individuals: evaluation in cystic fibrosis patient and carrier screening populations.
Genet Med. 2004 Sep-Oct;6(5):392-9., [PMID:15371903]

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: We reviewed CFTR mutation distribution among Hispanic and African American individuals referred for CF carrier screening and compared mutation frequencies to those derived from CF patient samples. METHODS: Results from CFTR mutation analyses received from January 2001 through September 2003, were analyzed for four populations: Hispanic individuals with a CF diagnosis (n = 159) or carrier screening indication (n = 15,333) and African American individuals with a CF diagnosis (n = 108) or carrier screening indication (n = 8,973). All samples were tested for the same 87 mutation panel. RESULTS: In the Hispanic population, 42 mutations were identified: 30 in the patient population (77.5% detection rate) and 33 among carrier screening referrals. Five mutations not included in the ACMG/ACOG carrier screening panel (3876delA, W1089X, R1066C, S549N, 1949del84) accounted for 7.55% detection in patients and 5.58% among carriers. Among African American referrals, 33 different mutations were identified: 21 in the patient population (74.4% detection) and 23 in the carrier screening population. Together, A559T and 711+5G>A were observed at a detection rate of 3.71% in CF patients and 6.38% in carriers. The mutation distribution seen in both the carrier screening populations reflected an increased frequency of mutations with variable expression such as D1152H, R117H, and L206W. CONCLUSIONS: A detailed analysis of CFTR mutation distribution in the Hispanic and African American patient and carrier screening populations demonstrates that a diverse group of mutations is most appropriate for diagnostic and carrier screening in these populations. To best serve the increasingly diverse U.S. population, ethnic-specific mutations should be included in mutation panels.

Sildenafil (Viagra) corrects DeltaF508-CFTR location in nasal epithelial cells from patients with cystic fibrosis.
Thorax. 2005 Jan;60(1):55-9., [PMID:15618584]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Most patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have a DeltaF508 mutation resulting in abnormal retention of mutant gene protein (DeltaF508-CFTR) within the cell. This study was undertaken to investigate DeltaF508-CFTR trafficking in native cells from patients with CF with the aim of discovering pharmacological agents that can move DeltaF508-CFTR to its correct location in the apical cell membrane. METHOD: Nasal epithelial cells were obtained by brushing from individuals with CF. CFTR location was determined using immunofluorescence and confocal imaging in untreated cells and cells treated with sildenafil. The effect of sildenafil treatment on CFTR chloride transport function was measured in CF15 cells using an iodide efflux assay. RESULTS: In most untreated CF cells DeltaF508-CFTR was mislocalised within the cell at a site close to the nucleus. Exposure of cells to sildenafil (2 hours at 37 degrees C) resulted in recruitment of DeltaF508-CFTR to the apical membrane and the appearance of chloride transport activity. Sildenafil also increased DeltaF508-CFTR trafficking in cells from individuals with CF with a single copy DeltaF508 (DeltaF508/4016ins) or with a newly described CF trafficking mutation (R1283M). CONCLUSIONS: The findings provide proof of principle for sildenafil as a DeltaF508-CFTR trafficking drug and give encouragement for future testing of sildenafil and related PDE5 inhibitors in patients with CF.

Genetics of cystic fibrosis.
Semin Respir Crit Care Med. 2003 Dec;24(6):629-38., [PMID:16088579]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which encodes a protein expressed in the apical membrane of exocrine epithelial cells. CFTR functions principally as a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-induced chloride channel and appears capable of regulating other ion channels. Mutations affect CFTR through a variety of molecular mechanisms, which can produce little or no functional gene product at the apical membrane. More than 1000 different disease-causing mutations within the CFTR gene have been described. The potential of a mutation to contribute to the phenotype depends on its type, localization in the gene, and the molecular mechanism as well as on interactions with secondary modifying factors. Genetic testing can confirm a clinical diagnosis of CF and can be used for infants with meconium ileus, for carrier detection in individuals with positive family history and partners of proven CF carriers, and for prenatal diagnostic testing if both parents are carriers. Studies of clinical phenotype in correlation with CFTR genotype have revealed a very complex relationship demonstrating that some phenotypic features are closely determined by the underlying mutations, whereas others are modulated by modifier genes, epigenetic mechanisms, and environment.

Eur J Hum Genet. 2009 Jan;17(1):51-65. Epub 2008 Aug 6., [PMID:18685558]

Abstract [show]
The increasing number of laboratories offering molecular genetic analysis of the CFTR gene and the growing use of commercial kits strengthen the need for an update of previous best practice guidelines (published in 2000). The importance of organizing regional or national laboratory networks, to provide both primary and comprehensive CFTR mutation screening, is stressed. Current guidelines focus on strategies for dealing with increasingly complex situations of CFTR testing. Diagnostic flow charts now include testing in CFTR-related disorders and in fetal bowel anomalies. Emphasis is also placed on the need to consider ethnic or geographic origins of patients and individuals, on basic principles of risk calculation and on the importance of providing accurate laboratory reports. Finally, classification of CFTR mutations is reviewed, with regard to their relevance to pathogenicity and to genetic counselling.

Abstract [show]
With knowledge of the molecular behaviour of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), its physiological role and dysfunction in cystic fibrosis (CF), therapeutic strategies are now being developed that target the root cause of CF rather than disease symptoms. Here, we review progress towards the development of rational new therapies for CF. We highlight the discovery of small molecules that rescue the cell surface expression and defective channel gating of CF mutants, termed CFTR correctors and CFTR potentiators, respectively. We draw attention to alternative approaches to restore epithelial ion transport to CF epithelia, including inhibitors of the epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) and activators of the Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel TMEM16A. The expertise required to translate small molecules identified in the laboratory to drugs for CF patients depends on our ability to coordinate drug development at an international level and our ability to provide pertinent biological information using suitable disease models.

Eur Respir J. 1998 Aug;12(2):477-82., [PMID:9727805]

Abstract [show]
The results obtained using deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) amplification-based tests must be accurate and reproducible. One such test that simultaneously detects any of 12 of the most common mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene is presented in this report. An investigation was conducted into how changes of primer, DNA template and Taq DNA polymerase concentrations and of polymerase chain reaction annealing temperatures affect the test. A total of 383 DNA samples obtained from different laboratories was then examined. The preliminary studies defined the conditions under which accurate results are obtained even if the test is performed under suboptimal conditions. Subsequently, 377 (98.4%) of the DNA samples analysed were in full agreement with DNA typing results derived by other methods. The remaining 1.6% of samples were not mistyped, rather they were not scored owing to failure to detect control DNA sequences. These were also archival DNA preparations rather than freshly prepared samples from venous blood. Careful primer design and optimization of reaction conditions are important in the development of multiplex deoxyribonucleic acid amplification-based diagnostic tests. Providing the recommended protocols are followed, the test described here is simple to carry out, gives accurate results and works well if performed within defined operational windows for each reaction variable.

Mutational spectrum of cystic fibrosis patients from Cordoba province and its zone of influence: implications of molecular diagnosis in Argentina.
Mol Genet Metab. 2006 Apr;87(4):370-5. Epub 2006 Jan 19., [PMID:16423550]

Abstract [show]
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting 1/2000-4000 newborns in Caucasian populations. This lethal disease mainly affects respiratory and digestive organs as well as fertility in man. So far, the CF prevalence and mutational spectrum have showed specificity among populations and regions, making it necessary to establish them in each one. In this study, we present the spectrum and frequency of CFTR gene mutations in CF patients from Cordoba (a province with 3.1 millions inhabitants in the middle of Argentina) and its zone of influence, to offer an accurate genetic testing. The study includes 78 families in which 98 patients fulfilled clinical criteria to CF diagnosis. The strategy for the molecular diagnosis comprised analysis of 21 common mutations, microsatellite haplotypes and the complete CFTR gene analysis using scanning techniques followed by sequencing of the abnormal migration patterns. Our first step led us to the identification of 10 mutations that represented 76% of alleles. Another four mutations (p.R1066C, c.1811 + 1.6 kbA > G, c.711 + 1G > T, and p.G85E) were found based on the microsatellite haplotype-mutation association. Finally, 14 mutations were characterized after the CFTR gene scanning, three of them are not previously described (p.G27R, c.622-2A > G, and p.W277R). In summary, we have identified 27 mutations accounting for 94.23% of CF alleles. This characteristic mutational spectrum highlights the 14 most frequent mutations (>1%) in the Cordoba region.

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.

Mutation characterization of CFTR gene in 206 Northern Irish CF families: thirty mutations, including two novel, account for approximately 94% of CF chromosomes.
Hum Mutat. 1996;8(4):340-7., [PMID:8956039]

Abstract [show]
A variety of mutation detection techniques, including restriction endonuclease digestion, allele specific oligonucleotides, and automated fluorescent sequencing, were used in the identification of 15 CFTR mutations representing 86.7% of CF chromosomes in 206 Northern Irish cystic fibrosis (CF) families. A systematic analysis of the 27 exons and intron/exon boundaries of the CFTR gene was performed using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) in an attempt to characterise the 55 unknown CF mutations in 51 patients. Twenty different mutations were detected by DGGE on 30 chromosomes accounting for a further 7.3% of CF alleles. Fifteen of these mutations had not previously been found in Northern Ireland, and two are novel, M1I(G > T) and V562L. In total, 30 CFTR mutations account for 93.9% of the 412 Northern Irish CF chromosomes tested. The three major CF mutations in Northern Ireland are delta F508, G551D, and R117H with respective frequencies of 68.0%, 5.1%, and 4.1%. The efficacy of the DGGE technique was proven by the detection of 77 out of 77 control variants from all the CFTR exons. DGGE is a highly efficient and sensitive method for mutation screening especially in large genes where the mutation spectrum is known to be heterogeneous.

Fluorescent multiplex microsatellites used to define haplotypes associated with 75 CFTR mutations from the UK on 437 CF chromosomes.
Hum Mutat. 1996;8(3):229-35., [PMID:8889582]

Abstract [show]
The cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene contains three highly informative microsatellites: IVS8CA, IVS17bTA, and IVS17bCA. Their analysis improves prenatal/ carrier diagnosis and generates haplotypes from CF chromosomes that are strongly associated with specific mutations. Microsatellite haplotypes were defined for 75 CFTR mutations carried on 437 CF chromosomes (220 for delta F508, 217 for other mutations) from Northern Ireland and three English regions: the North-West, East Anglia, and the South. Fluorescently labelled microsatellites were amplified in a triplex PCR reaction and typed using an ABI 373A fluorescent fragment analyser. These mutations cover all the common and most of the rare CF defects found in the UK, and their corresponding haplotypes and geographic region are tabulated here. Ancient mutations, delta F508, G542X, N1303K, were associated with several related haplotypes due to slippage during replication, whereas other common mutations were associated with the one respective haplotype (e.g., G551D and R560T with 16-7-17, R117H with 16-30-13, 621 + 1G > T with 21-31-13, 3659delC with 16-35-13). This simple, fast, and automated method for fluorescent typing of these haplotypes will help to direct mutation screening for uncharacterised CF chromosomes.

Increased incidence of cystic fibrosis gene mutations in adults with disseminated bronchiectasis.
Hum Mol Genet. 1995 Apr;4(4):635-9., [PMID:7543317]

Abstract [show]
In order to identify a possible hereditary predisposition to the development of obstructive pulmonary disease of unknown origin, we have looked for the presence of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR) gene mutations in unrelated patients with no signs of Cystic Fibrosis (CF). We screened for 70 common mutations, and also for rare mutations by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis. In this search, different CFTR gene mutations (R75Q, delta F508, R1066C, M1137V and 3667ins4) were found in five out of 16 adult Italian patients with disseminated bronchiectasis, a significant increase over the expected frequency of carriers. Moreover, three rare CFTR gene DNA polymorphisms (G576A, R668C, and 2736 A-->G), not deemed to be the cause of CF, were found in two patients, one of which was a compound heterozygote with R1066C. These results indicate that CFTR gene mutations, and perhaps also DNA polymorphisms, may be involved in the etiopathogenesis of at least some cases of bronchiectasis.

Independent origins of cystic fibrosis mutations R334W, R347P, R1162X, and 3849 + 10kbC-->T provide evidence of mutation recurrence in the CFTR gene.
Am J Hum Genet. 1994 Nov;55(5):890-8., [PMID:7526685]

Abstract [show]
Microsatellite analysis of chromosomes carrying particular cystic fibrosis mutations has shown different haplotypes in four cases: R334W, R347P, R1162X, and 3849 + 10kbC-->T. To investigate the possibility of recurrence of these mutations, analysis of intra- and extragenic markers flanking these mutations has been performed. Recurrence is the most plausible explanation, as it becomes necessary to postulate either double recombinations or single recombinations in conjunction with slippage at one or more microsatellite loci, to explain the combination of mutations and microsatellites if the mutations arose only once. Also in support of recurrence, mutations R334W, R347P, R1162X, and 3849 + 10kbC-->T involve CpG dinucleotides, which are known to have an increased mutation rate. Although only 15.7% of point mutations in the coding sequence of CFTR have occurred at CpG dinucleotides, approximately half of these CpG sites have mutated at least once. Specific nucleotide positions of the coding region of CFTR, distinct from CpG sequences, also seem to have a higher mutation rate, and so it is possible that the mutations observed are recurrent. G-->A transitions are the most common change found in those positions involved in more than one mutational event in CFTR.

Mutation analysis in 600 French cystic fibrosis patients.
J Med Genet. 1994 Jul;31(7):541-4., [PMID:7525963]

Abstract [show]
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene of 600 unrelated cystic fibrosis (CF) patients living in France (excluding Brittany) was screened for 105 different mutations. This analysis resulted in the identification of 86% of the CF alleles and complete genotyping of 76% of the patients. The most frequent mutations in this population after delta F508 (69% of the CF chromosomes) are G542X (3.3%), N1303K (1.8%), W1282X (1.5%), 1717-1G-->A (1.3%), 2184delA + 2183 A-->G (0.9%), and R553X (0.8%).

Novel cystic fibrosis mutation associated with mild disease in Cypriot patients.
Hum Genet. 1994 May;93(5):529-32., [PMID:7513296]

Abstract [show]
Cyprus is an island in the eastern Mediterranean basin inhabited by people of Caucasian extraction, mostly Greek-Cypriots. The most common inherited disease among Caucasians is cystic fibrosis (CF). Although no careful scientific study had ever been done the impression was that CF was extremely rare among the Greek-Cypriots, with an incidence estimated at around 1:30,000. About 2 years ago, we introduced molecular diagnostic methodology in an effort to assist clinicians in safer diagnosis of patients presenting with atypical CF symptomatology, and also for testing the hypothesis that mutations that cause milder phenotypes might be responsible for misdiagnosis or for missing entirely some cases of CF. Initial screening for delta F508 revealed that it is indeed rare in the general population. Further screening of suspected CF patients revealed a novel mutation that converted leucine at position 346 to proline (L346P) in two unrelated families. The second CF mutation was delta F508 and 1677delTA in the two families respectively, both reportedly associated with severe phenotypes. Yet our patients did not present with typical CF pictures possibly because of the dominant nature of this novel mild mutation in exon 7. Symptoms included failure to thrive, chest infections and electrolyte disturbances. These findings raise the possibility that Cyprus might have been spared very severe CF phenotypes but not cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations.

Direct sequencing of the complete CFTR gene: the molecular characterisation of 99.5% of CF chromosomes in Wales.
Hum Mol Genet. 1993 Oct;2(10):1551-6., [PMID:7505689]

Abstract [show]
We have performed an extensive mutation analysis on 184 CF families in Wales. In our previous study, mutations on 329/369 CF chromosomes were identified after screening for delta F508 and sixteen other mutations. To identify the mutations on the remaining 40 uncharacterized CF chromosomes, we have carried out direct DNA sequencing over the complete coding region, intron splice sites, and part of the promoter region of the CFTR gene. During this study we have designed a set of internal sequencing primers which allow clear sequencing through the aforementioned regions. Sequence analysis revealed 15 further mutations (4 of which are novel), and 10 previously described polymorphisms. In total, we have identified 29 mutations, the distribution of which provides further insight into the functional domains of the CFTR protein. We have characterised 99.5% of the CF chromosomes (365/367, one sample degraded). In order to ascertain accurate frequency data for the Welsh population, CF families with at least 3 'Welsh' grandparents were strictly regarded as 'Welsh'. Of these 91 families, delta F508 accounts for 71.6%, 621 + 1G-->T 6.6% and 1898 + 1G-->A 5.5%. The implications for CF population screening in Wales are discussed.

Milestones in cystic fibrosis.
Br Med Bull. 1992 Oct;48(4):717-37., [PMID:1281032]

Abstract [show]
The study of cystic fibrosis (CF) provides a fascinating insight into developments in medicine in the 20th century. Milestones include the first clear clinical descriptions in the 1930s, discovery of a sweat electrolyte abnormality, establishing the autosomal recessive mode of inheritance and improvements in treatment. Microdissection experiments on sweat glands allowed the main defect to be delineated as one of chloride transport. Location of the gene to chromosome 7 made prenatal diagnosis feasible and carrier detection in siblings. The CF gene--its product being the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), and its major mutation Delta F508 was discovered in 1989. World-wide collaboration has resulted in discovery of more than 150 further mutations. Incorporation of CFTR into non-chloride transporting insect cells by conferring chloride transport, proved it a chloride channel. CFTR incorporated into adenovirus results in correction of the chloride transport defect in airway cells, bringing gene therapy closer.

Mutation analysis of 184 cystic fibrosis families in Wales.
J Med Genet. 1992 Sep;29(9):642-6., [PMID:1357180]

Abstract [show]
We describe a molecular analysis of 184 cystic fibrosis (CF) families in Wales. To determine accurate frequency data for the CF mutations in the Welsh population, families with at least three Welsh grandparents were strictly regarded as Welsh. Of these 74 families, we have identified approximately 90% of mutations causing CF, with delta F508 accounting for 71.8% and 621 + 1G greater than T 6.7%. We observed a significant difference between the Welsh and Scottish frequencies of 621 + 1G greater than T. To allow the rapid and efficient screening for the more common mutations we modified a multiplex used by Watson et al enabling the detection of delta F508, G551D, and R553X simultaneously with 621 + 1G greater than T. In parallel to this system we ran the Cellmark Diagnostics ARMS multiplex kit, which detects delta F508, 621 + 1G greater than T, G551D, and G542X. RFLP analysis of the 184 families shows that the delta F508 chromosomes are almost exclusively found on the B haplotype (XV2c 1, KM19 2); the other CF mutations have more heterogeneous backgrounds. Strong haplotype correlations exist between the markers XV2c, KM19, D9, and G2 and the other CF mutations. Haplotype data suggest that there are at least seven mutations that remain to be identified in these families.

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.
