Complete mutational screening of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene: cystic fibrosis mutations are not involved in healthy men with reduced sperm quality.
Hum Reprod. 1999 Dec;14(12):3035-40., [PMID:10601093]

Abstract [show]
Based on the analysis of the most frequent mutations responsible for cystic fibrosis (CF), a higher than expected frequency of CF mutations was recently reported in men with infertility due to reduced sperm quality. To further document whether this condition is associated with severe or mild abnormalities of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) functions, we carried out a complete scanning of CFTR sequences using a strategy that detects almost all 850 mutations and 150 polymorphisms reported to date in the CFTR gene. We have investigated a cohort of 56 patients with severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) and 50 controls from southern France for CFTR gene mutations and variations. The frequencies of CF-causing mutations and CFTR variations identified in this OAT sample did not differ significantly from the frequencies found in the normal population. However, we observed a 1.7-fold increase in the proportion of homozygotes for a specific CFTR haplotype (TG11-T7-G1540) in the OAT group (P = 0.025). Our results do not confirm a link between CF mutations and reduced sperm quality. Further studies are needed to substantiate the hypothesis that a combination of variants affecting expression and function of the CFTR protein is associated with male infertility.

Expression of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator in liver tissue from patients with cystic fibrosis.
Hepatology. 2000 Aug;32(2):334-40., [PMID:10915740]

Abstract [show]
The authors examined the expression of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and its relationship to histopathological changes in cystic fibrosis (CF) liver tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to examine expression of CFTR, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and liver cell-type markers in liver cryosections in 11 patients with CF-associated liver disease, and non-CF controls with (n = 17) and without (n = 3) liver disease. In CF patients prominent inflammatory infiltrates were not found, yet hepatic stellate cells were identified within fibrotic areas around bile ducts. Proliferating bile ducts displayed ICAM-1 immunoreactivity in 3 cases, but bile ducts were otherwise negative. In 2 patients homozygous for R764X and for 1112delT no CFTR immunoreactivity was detected. Bile-duct epithelial cells in patients carrying the DeltaF508 mutation displayed aberrant cytoplasmic immunolocalization of CFTR, as determined with confocal laser scanning microscopy, in contrast to the distinct CFTR expression at the luminal surface seen in controls. No clear relationship between CFTR expression and fibrosis or inflammation was evidenced in CF patients. In conclusion, these findings are consistent with an impairment of DeltaF508 CFTR processing in intrahepatic biliary epithelium. ICAM-1 expression on bile-duct epithelial cells and inflammatory infiltrates were rare findings in CF liver tissue, indicating that immunological mechanisms are unlikely to be involved in initiation of CF-associated liver disease.

Spectrum of mutations in the CFTR gene of patients with classical and atypical forms of cystic fibrosis from southwestern Sweden: identification of 12 novel mutations.
Genet Test. 2001 Fall;5(3):235-42., [PMID:11788090]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. The spectrum of CFTR mutations varies between populations and depends on different factors, such as ethnic background and geographical location. The extensive CFTR mutation screening of 129 patients with classical or atypical CF from the south-western region of Sweden revealed the presence of 37 CFTR mutations, including 12 novel alleles. The overall mutation detection rate in this study population was 92%, the highest among all tested regions in Sweden. Eight mutations with a frequency above 1% (DeltaF508, 394delTT, R117C, 3659delC, E60X, 1112delT, R764X, and 621 + 1G --> T) accounted for 78% of CF chromosomes and have been recommended for inclusion in the CFTR mutation screening panel for molecular diagnosis of CF in this region. The multiple occurrence of specific CFTR alleles less common than the predominant DeltaF508 mutation (394delTT, R117C, 3659delC) allowed for genotype-phenotype comparisons and revealed consistent relationships between these mutations and disease severity.

Association between serum oncofetal antigens CA 19-9 and CA 125 and clinical status in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Acta Paediatr. 2003 Nov;92(11):1267-71., [PMID:14696845]

Abstract [show]
In cystic fibrosis (CF), mucus plugging in the airways and in the gastrointestinal tract leads to severe morbidity and mortality. The mucin-associated antigens CA 19-9 and CA 125 are markers of gastrointestinal malignancy, and CA 19-9 has also been reported in association with pulmonary function in CF. AIM: To test whether these antigens might serve as markers for the severity of pulmonary and gastrointestinal disease in CF. METHODS: In 99 patients, aged 1 to 48 y, serum levels of CA 19-9 and CA 125 were measured by RIA and ELISA and related to clinical data. RESULTS: Patients with severe mutations had significantly increased serum levels of CA 125, indicating an association with a more severe CF phenotype. This was further supported by the association with lung function, chronic pulmonary colonization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and pancreatic insufficiency. CA 19-9 was also shown to be associated with lung function and Ps. aeruginosa colonization. No gastrointestinal malignancy was found in our patients despite very high values of CA 19-9 in some patients. During a 5-y follow-up, the very high serum levels of CA 19-9 decreased along with improved general condition of the patients. CONCLUSION: Increased serum levels of CA 125 in CF patients were associated with severe cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator mutations and a severe phenotype. Both antigens were associated with pseudomonas colonization and lung function and CA 125 also with pancreatic insufficiency. The estimates of CA 19-9 are hampered by the influence of the Lewis histo-blood group system on the synthesis of CA 19-9.

Novel CFTR mutations in black cystic fibrosis patients.
Clin Genet. 2004 Apr;65(4):284-7., [PMID:15025720]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is considered as a rare disease in black Africans. In fact, this disease is likely to be underestimated since clinical features consistent with CF diagnosis are often ascribed to environmental factors such as malnutrition. Very little is known about CFTR mutations in affected patients from Central Africa. We report here four novel mutations, i.e., IVS2 + 28 (intron 2), 459T > A (exon 4), EX17a_EX18del (exons 17-18), and IVS22 + IG > A (intron 22), in such patients. An update of CFTR mutations reported in black patients from various ethnies is included. These data might be helpful for genetic counselling regarding CF in black patients.

CFTR mutations in Turkish and North African cystic fibrosis patients in Europe: implications for screening.
Genet Test. 2008 Mar;12(1):25-35., [PMID:18373402]

Abstract [show]
AIMS: To obtain more insight into the variability of the CFTR mutations found in immigrant cystic fibrosis (CF) patients who are living in Europe now, and to estimate the test sensitivity of different frequently used methods of DNA analysis to detect CF carriers or patients among these Turkish or North African immigrants. METHODS: A survey among 373 European CF centers asking which CFTR mutations had been found in Turkish and North African CF patients. RESULTS: 31 and 26 different mutations were reported in Turkish and North African patients, identifying 64.2% (113/176) and 87.4% (118/135) alleles, respectively (p < 0.001). The mean sensitivity (detection rate) of three most common CFTR mutation panels to detect these mutations differed between Turkish and North African people, 44.9% (79/176) versus 69.6% (94/135) (p < 0.001), and can be increased to 57.4% (101/176) and 79.3% (107/135) (p < 0.001), respectively, by expanding these panels with 13 mutations which have been found on two or more alleles. CONCLUSION: 35.8% and 12.6%, respectively, of CF alleles in Turkish and North African patients living in Europe now had not been identified. Among these populations, the test sensitivity of common CFTR mutation panels is insufficient for use in screening programs in Europe, even after expansion with frequent Turkish and North African mutations. This raises questions about whether and how to implement CF carrier and neonatal screening in a multiethnic society.

CFTR transcription defects in pancreatic sufficient cystic fibrosis patients with only one mutation in the coding region of CFTR.
J Med Genet. 2011 Apr;48(4):235-41. Epub 2010 Nov 20., [PMID:21097845]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) manifest a multisystem disease due to deleterious mutations in each gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). However, the role of dysfunctional CFTR is uncertain in individuals with mild forms of CF (ie, pancreatic sufficiency) and mutation in only one CFTR gene. METHODS: Eleven pancreatic sufficient (PS) CF patients with only one CFTR mutation identified after mutation screening (three patients), mutation scanning (four patients) or DNA sequencing (four patients) were studied. Bi-directional sequencing of the coding region of CFTR was performed in patients who had mutation screening or scanning. If a second CFTR mutation was not identified, CFTR mRNA transcripts from nasal epithelial cells were analysed to determine if any PS-CF patients harboured a second CFTR mutation that altered RNA expression. RESULTS: Sequencing of the coding regions of CFTR identified a second deleterious mutation in five of the seven patients who previously had mutation screening or mutation scanning. Five of the remaining six patients with only one deleterious mutation identified in the coding region of one CFTR gene had a pathologic reduction in the amount of RNA transcribed from their other CFTR gene (8.4-16% of wild type). CONCLUSIONS: These results show that sequencing of the coding region of CFTR followed by analysis of CFTR transcription could be a useful diagnostic approach to confirm that patients with mild forms of CF harbour deleterious alterations in both CFTR genes.

Comprehensive description of CFTR genotypes and ultrasound patterns in 694 cases of fetal bowel anomalies: a revised strategy.
Hum Genet. 2011 Apr;129(4):387-96. Epub 2010 Dec 24., [PMID:21184098]

Abstract [show]
Fetal bowel anomalies may reveal cystic fibrosis (CF) and the search for CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations is part of the diagnostic investigations in such pregnancies, according to European recommendations. We report on our 18-year experience to document comprehensive CFTR genotypes and correlations with ultrasound patterns in a series of 694 cases of fetal bowel anomalies. CFTR gene analysis was performed in a multistep process, including search for frequent mutations in the parents and subsequent in-depth search for rare mutations, depending on the context. Ultrasound patterns were correlated with the genotypes. Cases were distinguished according to whether they had been referred directly to our laboratory or after an initial testing in another laboratory. A total of 30 CF fetuses and 8 cases compatible with CFTR-related disorders were identified. CFTR rearrangements were found in 5/30 CF fetuses. 21.2% of fetuses carrying a frequent mutation had a second rare mutation, indicative of CF. The frequency of CF among fetuses with no frequent mutation was 0.43%. Correlation with ultrasound patterns revealed a significant frequency of multiple bowel anomalies in CF fetuses. The results emphasize the need to search for rearrangements in the diagnosis strategy of fetal bowel anomalies. The diagnostic value of ultrasound patterns combining hyperechogenic bowel, loop dilatation and/or non-visualized gallbladder reveals a need to revise current strategies and to offer extensive CFTR gene testing when the triad is diagnosed, even when no frequent mutation is found in the first-step analysis.

Cystic fibrosis carrier testing in an ethnically diverse US population.
Clin Chem. 2011 Jun;57(6):841-8. Epub 2011 Apr 7., [PMID:21474639]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: The incidence of cystic fibrosis (CF) and the frequency of specific disease-causing mutations vary among populations. Affected individuals experience a range of serious clinical consequences, notably lung and pancreatic disease, which are only partially dependent on genotype. METHODS: An allele-specific primer-extension reaction, liquid-phase hybridization to a bead array, and subsequent fluorescence detection were used in testing for carriers of 98 CFTR [cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (ATP-binding cassette sub-family C, member 7)] mutations among 364 890 referred individuals with no family history of CF. RESULTS: One in 38 individuals carried one of the 98 CFTR mutations included in this panel. Of the 87 different mutations detected, 18 were limited to a single ethnic group. African American, Hispanic, and Asian individuals accounted for 33% of the individuals tested. The mutation frequency distribution of Caucasians was significantly different from that of each of these ethnic groups (P < 1 x 10(1)). CONCLUSIONS: Carrier testing using a broad mutation panel detects differences in the distribution of mutations among ethnic groups in the US.

beta-Adrenergic Sweat Secretion as a Diagnostic Test for Cystic Fibrosis.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2012 Oct 15;186(8):732-9. doi: 10.1164/rccm.201205-0922OC. Epub 2012 Aug 2., [PMID:22859523]

Abstract [show]
Rationale: beta-Adrenergically induced sweat secretion offers an expedient method to assess native cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) secretory function in vivo. Objectives: To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and reliability of a test based on the activity and secretory function of CFTR in the sweat gland. Methods: Primary and validation trials with prospectively ascertained healthy control subjects, obligate heterozygotes, and patients with a CFTR-related disorder and CF (pancreatic sufficient and insufficient). Measurements and Main Results: Diagnostic accuracy and reliability of beta-adrenergic sweat secretory rates using an evaporimeter was assessed and compared with sweat chloride concentrations. The cholinergically stimulated mean sweat rate did not differ among groups. The mean maximal beta-adrenergically stimulated sweat rate in heterozygotes was about half the rate of healthy control subjects, and completely absent in pancreatic-insufficient patients with CF and pancreatic-sufficient patients with CF (P < 0.0001). Subjects with a CFTR-related disorder showed reduced or absent beta-adrenergic sweat secretion. The beta-adrenergic secretory response demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy (area under a characteristic receiver-operator curve = 0.99; 95% confidence interval, 0.97-1.00) and reliability (intraclass correlation, 0.90; 95% confidence interval, 0.81-0.95). The diagnostic cutoff level for CF, derived from the primary trial, correctly identified all control subjects, heterozygotes, and patients with CF in the validation cohort, whereas concurrent sweat chloride measurements misclassified one heterozygote and five subjects with CF. The cholinergic and beta-adrenergic sweat secretion rates were lower in women compared with men (P < 0.001). Conclusions: beta-Adrenergic sweat secretion rate determined by evaporimetry is an accurate and reliable technique to assess different levels of CFTR function and to identify patients with CF.

Regulation of Activation and Processing of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) by a Complex Electrostatic Interaction between the Regulatory Domain and Cytoplasmic Loop 3.
J Biol Chem. 2012 Oct 11., [PMID:23060444]

Abstract [show]
NEG2, a short C-terminal segment (817-838) of the unique regulatory (R) domain of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel, has been reported to regulate CFTR gating in response to cAMP-dependent R domain phosphorylation. The underlying mechanism, however, is unclear. Here, K946 of cytoplasmic loop 3 (CL3) is proposed as counter-ion of D835, D836 or E838 of NEG2 to prevent channel activation by PKA. R764 or R766 of the S768 phosphorylation site of the R domain is proposed to promote channel activation possibly by weakening the putative CL3-NEG2 electrostatic attraction. First, not only D835A, D836A and E838A but also K946A reduced the PKA dependent CFTR activation. Second, both K946D and D835R/D836R/E838R mutants were activated by ATP and curcumin to a different extent. Third, R764A and R766A mutants enhanced the PKA-dependent activation. On the other hand, it is very exciting that D835R/D836R/E838R and K946D/H950D and H950R exhibited normal channel processing and activity while D835R/D836R/E838R/K946D/H950D was misprocessed and silent in response to forskolin. Further, D836R and E838R played a critical role in the asymmetric electrostatic regulation of CFTR processing and S768 phosphorylation may not be involved. Thus, a complex interfacial interaction among CL3, NEG2 and the S768 phosphorylation site may be responsible for the asymmetric electrostatic regulation of CFTR activation and processing.

117 Because R764X and R766M were reported with CF patients (www.genet.sickkids.on.ca/cftr/app), we investigated if missense alanine mutation of R764 and R766 alters the channel processing and activity. Login to comment

Abstract [show]
We report on a 6-month-old premature boy from consanguineous parents. He presented with respiratory distress, necrotizing enterocolitis and hyperbilirubinemia shortly after birth. Persisting respiratory symptoms and failure to thrive prompted cystic fibrosis diagnostics, which showed the lack of wild-type signal for the mutation R347P suggesting a homozygous deletion or an alteration different from the known mutation at this position. Sequencing of this region revealed the homozygous substitution 1175 T > A (HGVS: c.1043 T > A) in exon 7 resulting in the homozygous amino acid change M348K. This mutation has never been reported in homozygosity before. Computational analysis tools classified M348K as 'presumably disease causing.' In our patient, sweat testing and electrophysiological assessment of CFTR function in native rectal epithelium demonstrated normal Cl(-) secretion. Conclusion: We assume that the homozygous alteration M348K is a harmless variant rather than a CF-causing mutation.

Role of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) in patients with chronic sinopulmonary disease.
Chest. 2012 Mar 15., [PMID:22423042]

Abstract [show]
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION:Previous studies report a high frequency of mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene in patients with idiopathic bronchiectasis. However, most studies have based their findings on pre-selected patient groups or have performed limited testing for CFTR dysfunction. The objective of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of CFTR gene mutations and/or CFTR-related ion channel abnormalities among subjects with idiopathic chronic sinopulmonary disease and the prevalence of CF or a CFTR-related disorder in this population. METHODS:We evaluated 72 prospectively enrolled patients from 1995-2005 at the Hospital for Sick Children and St. Michael's Hospital with idiopathic chronic sinopulmonary disease for evidence of CFTR-mediated abnormalities. We performed CFTR genotyping and assessed CFTR function using sweat testing and nasal potential difference testing. The results were compared with data from healthy controls, CF heterozygotes and CF patients. RESULTS:The CFTR functional tests in idiopathic sinopulmonary patients showed a continuous spectrum, ranging from normal to values typically seen in individuals with CF. Forty eight patients (66%) demonstrated CFTR mutations and/or abnormalities of CFTR function. Twenty two (31%) fulfilled criteria for a CF diagnosis and 26 (36%) for a CFTR-related disorder with a strong female preponderance. Functional tests, more than genotyping, were instrumental in establishing a CF diagnosis. Clinical features failed to distinguish CF subjects from those with CFTR-related or idiopathic disease. CONCLUSION:The high prevalence of CF and CFTR dysfunction among patients with idiopathic chronic sinopulmonary disease underscores the need for extensive diagnostic evaluation for CF.

The K+ channel opener 1-EBIO potentiates residual function of mutant CFTR in rectal biopsies from cystic fibrosis patients.
PLoS One. 2011;6(8):e24445. Epub 2011 Aug 31., [PMID:21909392]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: The identification of strategies to improve mutant CFTR function remains a key priority in the development of new treatments for cystic fibrosis (CF). Previous studies demonstrated that the K(+) channel opener 1-ethyl-2-benzimidazolone (1-EBIO) potentiates CFTR-mediated Cl(-) secretion in cultured cells and mouse colon. However, the effects of 1-EBIO on wild-type and mutant CFTR function in native human colonic tissues remain unknown. METHODS: We studied the effects of 1-EBIO on CFTR-mediated Cl(-) secretion in rectal biopsies from 47 CF patients carrying a wide spectrum of CFTR mutations and 57 age-matched controls. Rectal tissues were mounted in perfused micro-Ussing chambers and the effects of 1-EBIO were compared in control tissues, CF tissues expressing residual CFTR function and CF tissues with no detectable Cl(-) secretion. RESULTS: Studies in control tissues demonstrate that 1-EBIO activated CFTR-mediated Cl(-) secretion in the absence of cAMP-mediated stimulation and potentiated cAMP-induced Cl(-) secretion by 39.2+/-6.7% (P<0.001) via activation of basolateral Ca(2)(+)-activated and clotrimazole-sensitive KCNN4 K(+) channels. In CF specimens, 1-EBIO potentiated cAMP-induced Cl(-) secretion in tissues with residual CFTR function by 44.4+/-11.5% (P<0.001), but had no effect on tissues lacking CFTR-mediated Cl(-) conductance. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that 1-EBIO potentiates Cl(-)secretion in native CF tissues expressing CFTR mutants with residual Cl(-) channel function by activation of basolateral KCNN4 K(+) channels that increase the driving force for luminal Cl(-) exit. This mechanism may augment effects of CFTR correctors and potentiators that increase the number and/or activity of mutant CFTR channels at the cell surface and suggests KCNN4 as a therapeutic target for CF.

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.

Spectrum of CFTR mutations in cystic fibrosis and in congenital absence of the vas deferens in France.
Hum Mutat. 2000;16(2):143-56., [PMID:10923036]

Abstract [show]
We have collated the results of cystic fibrosis (CF) mutation analysis conducted in 19 laboratories in France. We have analyzed 7, 420 CF alleles, demonstrating a total of 310 different mutations including 24 not reported previously, accounting for 93.56% of CF genes. The most common were F508del (67.18%; range 61-80), G542X (2.86%; range 1-6.7%), N1303K (2.10%; range 0.75-4.6%), and 1717-1G>A (1.31%; range 0-2.8%). Only 11 mutations had relative frequencies >0. 4%, 140 mutations were found on a small number of CF alleles (from 29 to two), and 154 were unique. These data show a clear geographical and/or ethnic variation in the distribution of the most common CF mutations. This spectrum of CF mutations, the largest ever reported in one country, has generated 481 different genotypes. We also investigated a cohort of 800 French men with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) and identified a total of 137 different CFTR mutations. Screening for the most common CF defects in addition to assessment for IVS8-5T allowed us to detect two mutations in 47.63% and one in 24.63% of CBAVD patients. In a subset of 327 CBAVD men who were more extensively investigated through the scanning of coding/flanking sequences, 516 of 654 (78. 90%) alleles were identified, with 15.90% and 70.95% of patients carrying one or two mutations, respectively, and only 13.15% without any detectable CFTR abnormality. The distribution of genotypes, classified according to the expected effect of their mutations on CFTR protein, clearly differed between both populations. CF patients had two severe mutations (87.77%) or one severe and one mild/variable mutation (11.33%), whereas CBAVD men had either a severe and a mild/variable (87.89%) or two mild/variable (11.57%) mutations.

Genetic findings in congenital bilateral aplasia of vas deferens patients and identification of six novel mutatations. Mutations in brief no. 138. Online.
Hum Mutat. 1998;11(6):480., [PMID:10200050]

Abstract [show]
Congential bilateral aplasia of vas deferens (CBAVD), a form of male sterility, has been suggested to represent a "genital" form of cystic fibrosis (CF), as mutations in the CFTR gene have been identified in most patients with this condition. Interestingly, the 5T allele in intron 8 appeared to be the most frequent mutation associated with CBAVD. However, the molecular basis of CBAVD is not completely understood. We have analysed the complete coding and flanking CFTR sequences by PCR-DGGE in 64 men with CBAVD from southern France with the aim to list any sequence alteration. Fourty-two of the 64 patients (65.6%) had mutations on both copies of the CFTR gene, including one patient with two mutations in the same copy (DF508 + A1067T). The 5T allele was present in 21/64 cases (33%). Six of the 28 different mutations identified in this study had never been described previously, and appeared to be specific to CBAVD (P111L, M244K, A1364V, G544V, 2896insAG,-33G->A).

Identification of common cystic fibrosis mutations in African-Americans with cystic fibrosis increases the detection rate to 75%.
Am J Hum Genet. 1997 May;60(5):1122-7., [PMID:9150159]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis (CF)--an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and characterized by abnormal chloride conduction across epithelial membranes, leading to chronic lung and exocrine pancreatic disease--is less common in African-Americans than in Caucasians. No large-scale studies of mutation identification and screening in African-American CF patients have been reported, to date. In this study, the entire coding and flanking intronic sequence of the CFTR gene was analyzed by denaturing gradient-gel electrophoresis and sequencing in an index group of 82 African-American CF chromosomes to identify mutations. One novel mutation, 3120+1G-->A, occurred with a frequency of 12.3% and was also detected in a native African patient. To establish frequencies, an additional group of 66 African-American CF chromosomes were screened for mutations identified in two or more African-American patients. Screening for 16 "common Caucasian" mutations identified 52% of CF alleles in African-Americans, while screening for 8 "common African" mutations accounted for an additional 23%. The combined detection rate of 75% was comparable to the sensitivity of mutation analysis in Caucasian CF patients. These results indicate that African-Americans have their own set of "common" CF mutations that originate from the native African population. Inclusion of these "common" mutations substantially improves CF mutation detection rates in African-Americans.

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.

Variation in a repeat sequence determines whether a common variant of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene is pathogenic or benign.
Am J Hum Genet. 2004 Jan;74(1):176-9. Epub 2003 Dec 18., [PMID:14685937]

Abstract [show]
An abbreviated tract of five thymidines (5T) in intron 8 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene is found in approximately 10% of individuals in the general population. When found in trans with a severe CFTR mutation, 5T can result in male infertility, nonclassic cystic fibrosis, or a normal phenotype. To test whether the number of TG repeats adjacent to 5T influences disease penetrance, we determined TG repeat number in 98 patients with male infertility due to congenital absence of the vas deferens, 9 patients with nonclassic CF, and 27 unaffected individuals (fertile men). Each of the individuals in this study had a severe CFTR mutation on one CFTR gene and 5T on the other. Of the unaffected individuals, 78% (21 of 27) had 5T adjacent to 11 TG repeats, compared with 9% (10 of 107) of affected individuals. Conversely, 91% (97 of 107) of affected individuals had 12 or 13 TG repeats, versus only 22% (6 of 27) of unaffected individuals (P<.00001). Those individuals with 5T adjacent to either 12 or 13 TG repeats were substantially more likely to exhibit an abnormal phenotype than those with 5T adjacent to 11 TG repeats (odds ratio 34.0, 95% CI 11.1-103.7, P<.00001). Thus, determination of TG repeat number will allow for more accurate prediction of benign versus pathogenic 5T alleles.

37 Each of the 98 patients with CBAVD had 5T with one of the following mutations: DF508 (78), G542X (6), N1303K (3), 711af9;1GrT (2), R1066C (2), R1162X (2), R764X (1), Y563X (1), H609R (1), L206W (1), or R334W (1). Login to comment
38 5T was confirmed by use of pedigree analysis to be in trans with R764X, Y563X, and H609X and was inferred as in trans for the remaining mutations, since these mutations have never been found to be in linkage disequilibrium with 5T in previous population sampling. Login to comment

Impact of heterozygote CFTR mutations in COPD patients with chronic bronchitis.

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoking causes Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), the 3rd leading cause of death in the U.S. CFTR ion transport dysfunction has been implicated in COPD pathogenesis, and is associated with chronic bronchitis. However, susceptibility to smoke induced lung injury is variable and the underlying genetic contributors remain unclear. We hypothesized that presence of CFTR mutation heterozygosity may alter susceptibility to cigarette smoke induced CFTR dysfunction. Consequently, COPD patients with chronic bronchitis may have a higher rate of CFTR mutations compared to the general population. METHODS: Primary human bronchial epithelial cells derived from F508del CFTR heterozygotes and mice with (CFTR+/-) and without (CFTR+/+) CFTR heterozygosity were exposed to whole cigarette smoke (WCS); CFTR-dependent ion transport was assessed by Ussing chamber electrophysiology and nasal potential difference measurements, respectively. Caucasians with COPD and chronic bronchitis, age 40 to 80 with FEV1/FVC < 0.70 and FEV1 < 60% predicted, were selected for genetic analysis from participants in the NIH COPD Clinical Research Network's Azithromycin for Prevention of Exacerbations of COPD in comparison to 32,900 Caucasian women who underwent prenatal genetic testing. Genetic analysis involved an allele-specific genotyping of 89 CFTR mutations. RESULTS: Exposure to WCS caused a pronounced reduction in CFTR activity in both CFTR (+/+) cells and F508del CFTR (+/-) cells; however, neither the degree of decrement (44.7% wild-type vs. 53.5% F508del heterozygous, P = NS) nor the residual CFTR activity were altered by CFTR heterozygosity. Similarly, WCS caused a marked reduction in CFTR activity measured by NPD in both wild type and CFTR heterozygous mice, but the severity of decrement (91.1% wild type vs. 47.7% CF heterozygous, P = NS) and the residual activity were not significantly affected by CFTR genetic status. Five of 127 (3.9%) COPD patients with chronic bronchitis were heterozygous for CFTR mutations which was not significantly different from controls (4.5%) (P = NS). CONCLUSIONS: The magnitude of WCS induced reductions in CFTR activity was not affected by the presence of CFTR mutation heterozygosity. CFTR mutations do not increase the risk of COPD with chronic bronchitis. CFTR dysfunction due to smoking is primarily an acquired phenomenon and is not affected by the presence of congenital CFTR mutations.

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.

A Genotypic-Oriented View of CFTR Genetics Highlights Specific Mutational Patterns Underlying Clinical Macrocategories of Cystic Fibrosis.
Mol Med. 2015 Apr 21;21:257-75. doi: 10.2119/molmed.2014.00229., [PMID:25910067]

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.

The improvement of the best practice guidelines for preimplantation genetic diagnosis of cystic fibrosis: toward an international consensus.
Eur J Hum Genet. 2015 May 27. doi: 10.1038/ejhg.2015.99., [PMID:26014425]

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.
