A new approach for identifying non-pathogenic mutations. An analysis of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene in normal individuals.
Hum Genet. 2000 Feb;106(2):172-8., [PMID:10746558]

Abstract [show]
Given q as the global frequency of the alleles causing a disease, any allele with a frequency higher than q minus the cumulative frequency of the previously known disease-causing mutations (threshold) cannot be the cause of that disease. This principle was applied to the analysis of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations in order to decide whether they are the cause of cystic fibrosis. A total of 191 DNA samples from random individuals from Italy, France, and Spain were investigated by DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) analysis of all the coding and proximal non-coding regions of the gene. The mutations detected by DGGE were identified by sequencing. The sample size was sufficient to select essentially all mutations with a frequency of at least 0.01. A total of 46 mutations was detected, 20 of which were missense mutations. Four new mutations were identified: 1341+28 C/T, 2082 C/T, L1096R, and I11131V. Thirteen mutations (125 G/C, 875+40 A/G, TTGAn, IVS8-6 5T, IVS8-6 9T, 1525-61 A/G, M470V, 2694 T/G, 3061-65 C/A, 4002 A/G, 4521 G/A, IVS8 TG10, IVS8 TG12) were classified as non-CF-causing alleles on the basis of their frequency. The remaining mutations have a cumulative frequency far exceeding q; therefore, most of them cannot be CF-causing mutations. This is the first random survey capable of detecting all the polymorphisms of the coding sequence of a gene.

80 Many (13 out of 20) of the missense mutations change highly conserved (5/5 species analyzed) amino acid residues (R75Q, G85E, I148T, I506V, R668C, G622D, L997F, I1027T, F1052V, L1096R, I1131V, R1162L, N1303K); others affect amino acid residues conserved in 4/5 species (K68 E, R170H, M470V, V562L, S1235R), or in 3/5 species (R31C and G576A; Tucker et al. 1992).

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.

Variant cystic fibrosis phenotypes in the absence of CFTR mutations.
N Engl J Med. 2002 Aug 8;347(6):401-7., 2002-08-08 [PMID:12167682]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Cystic fibrosis is a life-limiting autosomal recessive disorder with a highly variable clinical presentation. The classic form involves characteristic findings in the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, male reproductive tract, and sweat glands and is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR ) gene. Nonclassic forms of cystic fibrosis have been associated with mutations that reduce but do not eliminate the function of the CFTR protein. We assessed whether alteration in CFTR function is responsible for the entire spectrum of variant cystic fibrosis phenotypes. METHODS: Extensive genetic analysis of the CFTR gene was performed in 74 patients with nonclassic cystic fibrosis who had been referred by 34 medical centers. We evaluated two families that each included a proband without identified mutations and a sibling with nonclassic cystic fibrosis to determine whether there was linkage to the CFTR locus and to measure the extent of CFTR function in the sweat gland and nasal epithelium. RESULTS: Of the 74 patients studied, 29 had two mutations in the CFTR gene, 15 had one mutation, and 30 had no mutations. A final genotype of two mutations was more common among patients who had been referred after screening for common cystic fibrosis-causing mutations identified one mutation than among those who had been referred after screening had identified no such mutations (26 of 34 patients vs. 3 of 40 patients, P<0.001). Comparison of clinical features and sweat chloride concentrations revealed no significant differences among patients with two, one, or no CFTR mutations. Haplotype analysis in the two families revealed no linkage to CFTR. Although each of the affected siblings had elevated sweat chloride concentrations, measurements of cyclic AMP-mediated ion and fluid transport in the sweat gland and nasal epithelium demonstrated the presence of functional CFTR. CONCLUSIONS: Factors other than mutations in the CFTR gene can produce phenotypes clinically indistinguishable from nonclassic cystic fibrosis caused by CFTR dysfunction.

Chronic pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis.
Gut. 2003 May;52 Suppl 2:ii31-41., [PMID:12651880]

Abstract [show]
Recent discoveries of trypsinogen and trypsin inhibitor mutations in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) support the hypothesis that an inappropriate activation of pancreatic zymogens to active enzymes within the pancreatic parenchyma starts the inflammatory process. Current data suggest that CP may be inherited dominant, recessive, or complex as a result of mutations in the above mentioned or yet unidentified genes. Evaluation of patients with CP should include genetic testing. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and is characterised by pancreatic insufficiency and chronic bronchopulmonary infection. The progression and severity of pulmonary disease differs considerably between people with identical CFTR mutations and does not seem to correlate with the type or class of the CFTR mutation. The identification of further disease modifying genetic factors will increase the pathophysiological understanding and may help to identify new therapeutic targets.

494 Moreover, two of the CFTR mutations found were previously reported as non-disease causing polymorphisms (R1162L, T1220I), five alterations were described for the first time and have not been demonstrated in a previous study of 640 Spanish CF patients.154 In summary, only 4 of 144 asthmatic patients (2.8%) possessed a verified CF causing mutation (R74W, I148T, T582R, and R1066C).

Different CFTR mutational spectrum in alcoholic and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis?
Pancreas. 2004 May;28(4):374-9., [PMID:15097853]

Abstract [show]
OBJECTIVE: Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations are responsible for cystic fibrosis (CF) and have been postulated as a predisposing risk factor to chronic pancreatitis (CP), but controversial results demand additional support. We have therefore investigated the role of the CFTR gene in a cohort of 68 CP patients. METHODS: We have performed the CFTR gene analysis using 2 screening techniques. Fragments showing abnormal migration patterns were characterized by sequencing. Patients were classified in alcoholic (ACP) (n = 37) and idiopathic (ICP) (n = 31) chronic pancreatitis. Clinical features of CP and CF were evaluated. RESULTS: Sixteen mutations/variants were identified in 27 patients (40%), most of them (35%) presenting a single CFTR mutant gene. The 1716G/A variant showed the highest frequency accounting for 22% in ICP and 5% in ACP, in contrast with other more common mutations such as F508del found in 8% of ACP and the 5T variant identified in 7% of patients. Acute pancreatitis, abdominal pain, tobacco, pancreatic calcifications, and pancreatic pseudocysts showed significant higher values in ACP than ICP patients. No significant differences were found between patients with and without CFTR mutations. CONCLUSIONS: Apart from reinforcing previous findings our data highlight the increased susceptibility of CFTR heterozygous to developing CP. Heterozygosity, combined with other factors, places these individuals at greater risk.

A large-scale study of the random variability of a coding sequence: a study on the CFTR gene.
Eur J Hum Genet. 2005 Feb;13(2):184-92., [PMID:15536480]

Abstract [show]
Coding single nucleotide substitutions (cSNSs) have been studied on hundreds of genes using small samples (n(g) approximately 100-150 genes). In the present investigation, a large random European population sample (average n(g) approximately 1500) was studied for a single gene, the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator). The nonsynonymous (NS) substitutions exhibited, in accordance with previous reports, a mean probability of being polymorphic (q > 0.005), much lower than that of the synonymous (S) substitutions, but they showed a similar rate of subpolymorphic (q < 0.005) variability. This indicates that, in autosomal genes that may have harmful recessive alleles (nonduplicated genes with important functions), genetic drift overwhelms selection in the subpolymorphic range of variability, making disadvantageous alleles behave as neutral. These results imply that the majority of the subpolymorphic nonsynonymous alleles of these genes are selectively negative or even pathogenic.

A large deletion in the CFTR gene in CBAVD.
Genet Med. 2006 Feb;8(2):93-5., [PMID:16481891]

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: Most cystic fibrosis mutation screening methods do not detect large exon deletions or duplications in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene. We looked for such mutations in congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens patients in whom routine screening assays had identified only one or no cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene mutations. METHODS: DNA samples from 48 men with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens were tested for exonic deletions and duplications in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene using a laboratory-developed semiquantitative fluorescent PCR assay. RESULTS: Semi-quantitative fluorescent PCR identified a large deletion in one (2%) of the 48 patients. This patient, previously characterized as carrying only the IVS8-5T mutation, was found to have a deletion of exons 22-24 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene. In a second patient with the IVS8-5T mutation, we identified a one-base pair insertion in exon 17b that disrupted the reading frame. CONCLUSIONS: Analysis of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene for exon deletions and duplications should be included for complete study of CBAVD patients, especially those considering assisted reproduction.

47 DNA sequence analysis identified a 3617 GϾT heterozygous base change that led to a R1162L mutation. This base change, located 4 bases from the 3=-end of the exon 19 forward primer, was described by Fanen et al. as a polymorphism,15 and was detected in a patient with asthma16 and in a patient with chronic pancreatitis.17 The R1162 residue is conserved across many species,16 and analysis of the effect of R1162L mutation on CFTR protein using the PolyPhen algorithm (http://www.

Prospective analysis of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator mutations in adults with bronchiectasis or pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial infection.
Chest. 2006 Oct;130(4):995-1002., [PMID:17035430]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Bronchiectasis and pulmonary infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) may be associated with disease-causing mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR). METHODS: Fifty adult patients at Stanford University Medical Center with a diagnosis of bronchiectasis and/or pulmonary NTM infection were prospectively characterized by sweat chloride measurement, comprehensive mutational analysis of CFTR, and sputum culture results. RESULTS: A de novo diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) was established in 10 patients (20%). Patients with CF were more likely than those without CF to have mucus plugging seen on chest high-resolution CT, and women with a CF diagnosis were thinner, with a significantly lower mean body mass index than the non-CF subjects. Thirty CFTR mutations were identified in 24 patients (50% prevalence). Sweat chloride concentration was elevated > 60 mEq/dL (diagnostic of CF) in seven patients (14%), and from 40 to 60 mEq/dL in eight patients (16%). The frequency of CFTR mutations was elevated above that expected in the general population: heterozygous DeltaF508 (12% vs 3%), R75Q (14% vs 1%), and intron 8 5T (17% vs 5 to 10%). Other known CFTR mutations identified were V456A, G542X, R668C, I1027T, D1152, R1162L, W1282X, and L183I. Three novel CFTR mutations were identified: A394V, F650L, and C1344S. CONCLUSIONS: Mutations in CFTR that alter RNA splicing and/or functional chloride conductance are common in this population, and are likely to contribute to the susceptibility and pathogenesis of adult bronchiectasis and pulmonary NTM infection. Careful clinical evaluation for disease cause should be undertaken in this clinical context.

Contribution of the CFTR gene, the pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor gene (SPINK1) and the cationic trypsinogen gene (PRSS1) to the etiology of recurrent pancreatitis.
Clin Genet. 2007 May;71(5):451-7., [PMID:17489851]

Abstract [show]
Acute recurrent/chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a complex multigenic disease. This is a case-control study consisting of 25 Greek patients with CP and a control population of 236 healthy Greek subjects. The whole coding area and neighboring intronic regions of the three genes were screened. Seventeen of 25 patients (68%) had mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene: nine compound heterozygotes with either mild or severe mutations and eight heterozygotes. Four patients (16%) carried CFTR-modulating haplotypes V470-TG11-T5 and V470-TG12-T7. All were negative for PRSS1 gene mutations, while variants c.486C/T and c.738C/T were found in nine patients each, three homozygotes for the minor alleles. Two carried SPINK1 gene mutation p.N34S, one being transheterozygote with CFTR mutation p.F1052V. The promoter variant -253T>C was found in four individuals (one homozygous for the minor allele), all four being transheterozygotes with mutations in the CFTR gene as well. Finally two carried c.272C/T in the 3' untranslated region, one being a p.N34S carrier as well. In total, 80% (20/25) of patients had a molecular defect in one or both of the CFTR and SPINK1 genes, suggesting that mutations/variants in the CFTR plus or minus mutations in the SPINK1, but not the PRSS1 gene, may confer a high risk for recurrent pancreatitis.

Does cystic fibrosis neonatal screening detect atypical CF forms? Extended genetic characterization and 4-year clinical follow-up.
Clin Genet. 2007 Jul;72(1):39-46., [PMID:17594398]

Abstract [show]
The neonatal screening protocol for cystic fibrosis (CF) is based on a first determination of blood immunoreactive trypsin (IRT1), followed by a first level genetic test that includes the 31 worldwide most common mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (DNA31), and a second determination of blood immunoreactive trypsin (IRT2). This approach identifies, in addition to affected subjects, a high proportion of newborns with hypertrypsinaemia at birth, in whom only one mutation is identified and who have a negative or borderline sweat test and pancreatic sufficiency. Although it has been suggested that hypertrypsinaemia may be caused by a single CFTR mutation, whether such neonates should be merely considered as healthy carriers remains a matter of debate as hypertrypsinaemia at birth may be a biochemical marker of a CFTR malfunction because of a second mild mutation. We analyzed, by means of an extended sequencing protocol, 32 newborns who tested positive at an IRT1/DNA31/IRT2 screening protocol and in whom only one CFTR mutation was found. The results obtained demonstrate that 62.5% of these newborns were also carrying a second mild CFTR mutation. The high proportion of compound heterozygous subjects, combined with the results of a 4-year follow-up in nine of these subjects all of whom displaying initial CF clinical symptoms, suggest that it may be possible to use the IRT1/DNA31/IRT2 protocol of neonatal screening to identify newborns with atypical forms of CF. In view of these findings, an extended genetic search for subjects with compound heterozygosity and a periodic clinical assessment should be considered.

56 This type of analysis has already been performed for some of the uncommon mutations found in this work (R1162L, S1235R and L997F, see Discussion), while we performed frequency studies for D836Y, P1013L, P5L and D806G. Login to comment
77 By contrast, the pathogenic role of some of the uncommon mutations found (P5L, D836Y, P1013L, D806G, L997F, S1235R, and R1162L) is still a matter of debate (15, 17, 28, 32, 48-58). Login to comment
80 R1162L have also been shown, in previous reports (49, 54), to be less frequent in the general population (0.5%, a percentage confirmed in this work, 0.3% and 0.3%, respectively). Login to comment
81 The absence or lower frequency of L997F, S1235R and R1162L in the general population than in our target group is compatible with a possible pathogenic role of these mutations. Login to comment

A novel computational and structural analysis of nsSNPs in CFTR gene.
Genomic Med. 2008 Jan;2(1-2):23-32. Epub 2008 May 14., [PMID:18716917]

Abstract [show]
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are being intensively studied to understand the biological basis of complex traits and diseases. The Genetics of human phenotype variation could be understood by knowing the functions of SNPs. In this study using computational methods, we analyzed the genetic variations that can alter the expression and function of the CFTR gene responsible candidate for causing cystic fibrosis. We applied an evolutionary perspective to screen the SNPs using a sequence homology-based SIFT tool, which suggested that 17 nsSNPs (44%) were found to be deleterious. The structure-based approach PolyPhen server suggested that 26 nsSNPS (66%) may disrupt protein function and structure. The PupaSuite tool predicted the phenotypic effect of SNPs on the structure and function of the affected protein. Structure analysis was carried out with the major mutation that occurred in the native protein coded by CFTR gene, and which is at amino acid position F508C for nsSNP with id (rs1800093). The amino acid residues in the native and mutant modeled protein were further analyzed for solvent accessibility, secondary structure and stabilizing residues to check the stability of the proteins. The SNPs were further subjected to iHAP analysis to identify htSNPs, and we report potential candidates for future studies on CFTR mutations.

Independent contribution of common CFTR variants to chronic pancreatitis.
Pancreas. 2010 Mar;39(2):209-15., [PMID:19812525]

Abstract [show]
OBJECTIVE: We have assessed whether CFTR gene has a major impact on chronic pancreatitis (CP) pathogenesis than that provided by the CFTR mutations. For this aim, we have evaluated clinical parameters, CFTR mutations, and 3 potential regulatory CFTR variants (coding single-nucleotide polymorphisms): c.1540A>G, c.2694T>G, and c.4521G>A. METHODS: CFTR gene analysis was performed in a cohort of 136 CP patients and 93 controls from Spanish population using current scanning techniques (single-strand conformation polymorphism/heteroduplex, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, and denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography) and direct sequencing. RESULTS: A higher frequency of CFTR mutations were observed in patients (39%) than in controls (15%; P < or = 0.001), differences being mostly attributable to the prevalence of the cystic fibrosis (CF)-causing mutations (P = 0.009). The analysis of variants has shown statistically significant differences between patients and controls for c.4521G>A (Pcorrected = 0.036). Furthermore, the multi-marker analysis revealed that the 1540A;2694G;4521A (AGA) haplotype was more prevalent in CP than controls (Pcorrected = 0.042). Remarkably, this association was unrelated to CF-causing mutations (P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: Our results corroborate the higher susceptibility of CF carriers to CP and, furthermore, suggest that the AGA haplotype could contribute to an increased risk in the development of CP irrespective of other CF-causing mutations.

Increased risk of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis in cystic fibrosis carriers.
Hum Mutat. 2005 Oct;26(4):303-7., [PMID:16134171]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive disease caused by mutations of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The risk of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) is increased in individuals who have CFTR genotypes containing a CF-causing mutation plus a second pathogenic allele. It is unknown whether the risk of ICP is increased in CF carriers who have one CF-causing mutation plus one normal allele. In this study, 52 sporadic cases of ICP were ascertained through the European Registry of Hereditary Pancreatitis and Familial Pancreatic Cancer. Individuals with pathogenic cationic trypsinogen mutations were excluded. DNA was comprehensively tested for CFTR mutations using a robotically enhanced, multiplexed, and highly redundant form of single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis followed by DNA sequencing. Fifteen subjects had a total of 18 pathogenic CFTR alleles. Eight subjects had common CF-causing mutations. This group included seven CF carriers in whom the second CFTR allele was normal (4.3 times the expected frequency, P=0.0002). Three subjects had compound heterozygotes genotypes containing two pathogenic alleles (31 times the expected frequency, P<0.0001). A variant allele of uncertain significance (p.R75Q) was detected in eight of the 52 ICP subjects and at a similar frequency (13/96) in random donors. ICP differs from other established CFTR-related conditions in that ICP risk is increased in CF carriers who have one documented normal CFTR allele. Having two CFTR mutations imparts a higher relative risk, while having only one mutation imparts a higher attributable risk.

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.

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.

Screening practices for mutations in the CFTR gene ABCC7.
Hum Mutat. 2000;15(2):135-49., [PMID:10649490]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene studies are now one of the most frequent activities in clinical molecular genetics laboratories. The number of requests is growing, owing to the increasingly wide range of recognized CFTR gene diseases (cystic fibrosis, congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens, disseminated bronchiectasis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and chronic pancreatitis), and the availability of efficient molecular tools for detecting mutations. A growing number of tests capable of simultaneously detecting several frequent CF mutations are being developed, and commercial kits are now available. The most recent kits detect nearly 90% of defective alleles in Caucasians, a rate high enough for carrier screening and for the majority of diagnostic requests. However, because of the wide variety of molecular defects documented in the CFTR gene, only a limited number of laboratories have mastered the entire panoply of necessary techniques, while other laboratories have to refer certain cases to specialized centers with complementary and/or scanning tools at their disposal. A good knowledge of CFTR diseases and their molecular mechanisms, together with expertise in the various techniques, is crucial for interpreting the results. Diagnostic strategies must take into account the indication, the patient's ethnic origin, and the time available in the framework of genetic counseling. This review presents the methods most frequently used for detecting CFTR gene mutations, and discusses the strategies most suited to the different clinical settings.

Missense mutations in the cystic fibrosis gene in adult patients with asthma.
Hum Mutat. 1999;14(6):510-9., [PMID:10571949]

Abstract [show]
Asthma is a complex genetic disorder that affects 5% of adults and 10% of children worldwide. The complete characterization of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene identified missense mutations in 15% of 144 unrelated adult patients with asthma, but in none of 41 subjects from the general population. The four more common mutations were analyzed in an extended sample consisting of 184 individuals from the general population and did not show a significant difference in frequency. The hyperfunctional CFTR M470 allele was detected in 90% of patients with CFTR missense mutations, but in 63% of subjects from the general population and 63% of asthma patients without CFTR mutations. None of the patients with missense mutations had the 5T allele of intron 8 of CFTR, responsible for low CFTR levels, while it was detected in 8% of asthma patients without CFTR mutations and in 9% of subjects from the general population. These findings suggest a putative role for a combination of CFTR missense mutations, including the M470 allele, in the genetic variability of asthma.

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.

Abstract [show]
Idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) has traditionally been defined as chronic pancreatitis in the absence of any obvious precipitating factors (e.g. alcohol abuse) and family history of the disease. Studies over the past 15 years have revealed that ICP has a highly complex genetic architecture involving multiple gene loci. Here, we have attempted to provide a conservative assessment of the major genetic causes of ICP in a sample of 253 young French ICP patients. For the first time, conventional types of mutation (comprising coding sequence variants and variants at intron/exon boundaries) and gross genomic rearrangements were screened for in all four major pancreatitis genes, PRSS1, SPINK1, CTRC and CFTR. For the purposes of the study, synonymous, intronic and 5'- or 3'-untranslated region variants were excluded from the analysis except where there was persuasive evidence of functional consequences. The remaining sequence variants/genotypes were classified into causative, contributory or neutral categories by consideration of (i) their allele frequencies in patient and normal control populations, (ii) their presumed or experimentally confirmed functional effects, (iii) the relative importance of their associated genes in the pathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis and (iv) gene-gene interactions wherever applicable. Adoption of this strategy allowed us to assess the pathogenic relevance of specific variants/genotypes to their respective carriers to an unprecedented degree. The genetic cause of ICP could be assigned in 23.7% of individuals in the study group. A strong genetic susceptibility factor was also present in an additional 24.5% of cases. Taken together, up to 48.2% of the studied ICP patients were found to display evidence of a genetic basis for their pancreatitis. Whereas these particular proportions may not be extrapolable to all ICP patients, the approach employed should serve as a useful framework for acquiring a better understanding of the role of genetic factors in causing this oligogenic disease.

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.

Mechanisms of CFTR functional variants that impair regulated bicarbonate permeation and increase risk for pancreatitis but not for cystic fibrosis.

Abstract [show]
CFTR is a dynamically regulated anion channel. Intracellular WNK1-SPAK activation causes CFTR to change permeability and conductance characteristics from a chloride-preferring to bicarbonate-preferring channel through unknown mechanisms. Two severe CFTR mutations (CFTRsev) cause complete loss of CFTR function and result in cystic fibrosis (CF), a severe genetic disorder affecting sweat glands, nasal sinuses, lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, and male reproductive system. We hypothesize that those CFTR mutations that disrupt the WNK1-SPAK activation mechanisms cause a selective, bicarbonate defect in channel function (CFTRBD) affecting organs that utilize CFTR for bicarbonate secretion (e.g. the pancreas, nasal sinus, vas deferens) but do not cause typical CF. To understand the structural and functional requirements of the CFTR bicarbonate-preferring channel, we (a) screened 984 well-phenotyped pancreatitis cases for candidate CFTRBD mutations from among 81 previously described CFTR variants; (b) conducted electrophysiology studies on clones of variants found in pancreatitis but not CF; (c) computationally constructed a new, complete structural model of CFTR for molecular dynamics simulation of wild-type and mutant variants; and (d) tested the newly defined CFTRBD variants for disease in non-pancreas organs utilizing CFTR for bicarbonate secretion. Nine variants (CFTR R74Q, R75Q, R117H, R170H, L967S, L997F, D1152H, S1235R, and D1270N) not associated with typical CF were associated with pancreatitis (OR 1.5, p = 0.002). Clones expressed in HEK 293T cells had normal chloride but not bicarbonate permeability and conductance with WNK1-SPAK activation. Molecular dynamics simulations suggest physical restriction of the CFTR channel and altered dynamic channel regulation. Comparing pancreatitis patients and controls, CFTRBD increased risk for rhinosinusitis (OR 2.3, p<0.005) and male infertility (OR 395, p<<0.0001). WNK1-SPAK pathway-activated increases in CFTR bicarbonate permeability are altered by CFTRBD variants through multiple mechanisms. CFTRBD variants are associated with clinically significant disorders of the pancreas, sinuses, and male reproductive system.

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.

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 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.
