The mutation on the other chromosome of this patient is unknown, but has the haplotype C/D. The mutation has been detected by SSCP analysis of exon 4 PCR product using intronic primers. Th ebase change has been confirmed after recovering the mutated strand from the SSCP gel, purified and directly sequenced using an automatic sequencer. c.276A>T , p.Glu92Asp (CFTR1) ? , The patient carries two other mutations: 3849+10kbC>T and R668C (2134C>T). Although segregation analysis was not performed, we suggest the putative 3849+10kbC>T;R668C/E92D compound genotype in the patient, as we already found the complex allele 3849+10kbC>T;R668C in another patient. Residue E92 is conserved between species but not in other proteins of the CFTR family, where Asp can be found instead. A mild splicing effect of the mutation is also possible.

Charged amino acids in the sixth transmembrane helix of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) are critical determinants of transport activity.
J Biol Chem. 2002 Nov 1;277(44):41326-33. Epub 2002 Aug 18., 2002-11-01 [PMID:12186871]

Abstract [show]
The multidrug resistance protein, MRP1 (ABCC1), is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that confers resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. MRP1 also mediates transport of organic anions such as leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)), 17beta-estradiol 17-(beta-d-glucuronide) (E(2)17betaG), estrone 3-sulfate, methotrexate (MTX), and GSH. We replaced three charged amino acids, Lys(332), His(335), and Asp(336), predicted to be in the sixth transmembrane (TM6) helix of MRP1 with neutral and oppositely charged amino acids and determined the effect on substrate specificity and transport activity. All mutants were expressed in transfected human embryonic kidney cells at levels comparable with wild-type MRP1, and confocal microscopy showed that they were correctly routed to the plasma membrane. Vesicular transport studies revealed that the MRP1-Lys(332) mutants had lost the ability to transport LTC(4), and GSH transport was reduced; whereas E(2)17betaG, estrone 3-sulfate, and MTX transport were unaffected. E(2)17betaG transport was not inhibited by LTC(4) and could not be photolabeled with [(3)H]LTC(4), indicating that the MRP1-Lys(332) mutants no longer bound this substrate. Substitutions of MRP1-His(335) also selectively diminished LTC(4) transport and photolabeling but to a lesser extent. Kinetic analyses showed that V(max) (LTC(4)) of these mutants was decreased but K(m) was unchanged. In contrast to the selective loss of LTC(4) transport in the Lys(332) and His(335) mutants, the MRP1-Asp(336) mutants no longer transported LTC(4), E(2)17betaG, estrone 3-sulfate, or GSH, and transport of MTX was reduced by >50%. Lys(332), His(335), and Asp(336) of TM6 are predicted to be in the outer leaflet of the membrane and are all capable of forming intrahelical and interhelical ion pairs and hydrogen bonds. The importance of Lys(332) and His(335) in determining substrate specificity and of Asp(336) in overall transport activity suggests that such interactions are critical for the binding and transport of LTC(4) and other substrates of MRP1.

Heterogeneity for mutations in the CFTR gene and clinical correlations in patients with congenital absence of the vas deferens.
Hum Reprod. 2000 Jul;15(7):1476-83., [PMID:10875853]

Abstract [show]
Congenital absence of the vas deferens (CAVD) is a heterogeneous disorder, largely due to mutations in the cystic fibrosis (CFTR) gene. Patients with unilateral absence of the vas deferens (CUAVD) and patients with CAVD in association with renal agenesis appear to have a different aetiology to those with isolated CAVD. We have studied 134 Spanish CAVD patients [110 congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) and 24 CUAVD], 16 of whom (six CBAVD, 10 CUAVD) had additional renal anomalies. Forty-two different CFTR mutations were identified, seven of them being novel. Some 45% of the CFTR mutations were specific to CAVD, and were not found in patients with cystic fibrosis or in the general Spanish population. CFTR mutations were detected in 85% of CBAVD patients and in 38% of those with CUAVD. Among those patients with renal anomalies, 31% carried one CFTR mutation. Anomalies in seminal vesicles and ejaculatory ducts were common in patients with CAVD. The prevalence of cryptorchidism and inguinal hernia appeared to be increased in CAVD patients, as well as nasal pathology and frequent respiratory infections. This study confirms the molecular heterogeneity of CFTR mutations in CAVD, and emphasizes the importance of an extensive CFTR analysis in these patients. In contrast with previous studies, this report suggests that CFTR might have a role in urogenital anomalies.

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.

Highest heterogeneity for cystic fibrosis: 36 mutations account for 75% of all CF chromosomes in Turkish patients.
Am J Med Genet. 2002 Dec 1;113(3):250-7., 2002-12-01 [PMID:12439892]

Abstract [show]
We analyzed the CFTR locus in 83 Turkish cystic fibrosis patients to identify mutations, haplotypes, and the carrier frequency in the population. We detected 36 different mutations in 125 (75%) of the total 166 CF chromosomes. Seven novel mutations were identified: four missense (K68E, Q493P, E608G, and V1147I), two splice-site (406 -3T > C and 3849 +5G > A), and one deletion (CFTRdele17b,18). The data showed that the Turkish population has the highest genetic heterogeneity at the CFTR locus reported so far. The results of this thorough molecular analysis at the CFTR locus of a population not of European descent shows that CF is not uncommon in all such populations. The large number of mutations present, as well as the high heterogeneity in haplotypes associated with the mutations suggests that most of the mutations have persisted for a long time in the population. Consistently, the carrier frequency is assessed to be high, indicating that the disease in the population is ancient.

Relation of sweat chloride concentration to severity of lung disease in cystic fibrosis.
Pediatr Pulmonol. 2004 Sep;38(3):204-9., [PMID:15274098]

Abstract [show]
In cystic fibrosis (CF), sweat chloride concentration has been proposed as an index of CFTR function for testing systemic drugs designed to activate mutant CFTR. This suggestion arises from the assumption that greater residual CFTR function should lead to a lower sweat chloride concentration, as well as protection against severe lung disease. This logic gives rise to the hypothesis that the lower the sweat chloride concentration, the less severe the lung disease. In order to test this hypothesis, we studied 230 patients homozygous for the DeltaF508 allele, and 34 patients with at least one allele associated with pancreatic sufficiency, born since January 1, 1955, who have pulmonary function data and sweat chloride concentrations recorded in our CF center database, and no culture positive for B. cepacia. We calculated a severity index for pulmonary disease, using an approach which takes into account all available pulmonary function data as well as the patient's current age and survival status. Patients with alleles associated with pancreatic sufficiency had significantly better survival (P = 0.0083), lower sweat chloride concentration (81.4 +/- 23.8 vs. 103.2 +/- 14.2 mEq/l, P < 0.0001), slower rate of decline of FEV(1) % predicted (-0.75 +/- 0.34 vs. -2.34 +/- 0.17% predicted per year), and a better severity index than patients homozygous for the DeltaF508 allele (median 73rd percentile vs. median 55th percentile, P = 0.0004). However, the sweat chloride concentration did not correlate with the severity index, either in the population as a whole, or in the population of patients with alleles associated with pancreatic sufficiency, who are thought to have some residual CFTR function. These data suggest that, by itself, sweat chloride concentration does not necessarily predict a milder pulmonary course in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Pharmacological induction of CFTR function in patients with cystic fibrosis: mutation-specific therapy.
Pediatr Pulmonol. 2005 Sep;40(3):183-96., [PMID:15880796]

Abstract [show]
CFTR mutations cause defects of CFTR protein production and function by different molecular mechanisms. Mutations can be classified according to the mechanisms by which they disrupt CFTR function. This understanding of the different molecular mechanisms of CFTR dysfunction provides the scientific basis for the development of targeted drugs for mutation-specific therapy of cystic fibrosis (CF). Class I mutations are nonsense mutations that result in the presence of a premature stop codon that leads to the production of unstable mRNA, or the release from the ribosome of a short, truncated protein that is not functional. Aminoglycoside antibiotics can suppress premature termination codons by disrupting translational fidelity and allowing the incorporation of an amino acid, thus permitting translation to continue to the normal termination of the transcript. Class II mutations cause impairment of CFTR processing and folding in the Golgi. As a result, the mutant CFTR is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and eventually targeted for degradation by the quality control mechanisms. Chemical and molecular chaperones such as sodium-4-phenylbutyrate can stabilize protein structure, and allow it to escape from degradation in the ER and be transported to the cell membrane. Class III mutations disrupt the function of the regulatory domain. CFTR is resistant to phosphorylation or adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) binding. CFTR activators such as alkylxanthines (CPX) and the flavonoid genistein can overcome affected ATP binding through direct binding to a nucleotide binding fold. In patients carrying class IV mutations, phosphorylation of CFTR results in reduced chloride transport. Increases in the overall cell surface content of these mutants might overcome the relative reduction in conductance. Alternatively, restoring native chloride pore characteristics pharmacologically might be effective. Activators of CFTR at the plasma membrane may function by promoting CFTR phosphorylation, by blocking CFTR dephosphorylation, by interacting directly with CFTR, and/or by modulation of CFTR protein-protein interactions. Class V mutations affect the splicing machinery and generate both aberrantly and correctly spliced transcripts, the levels of which vary among different patients and among different organs of the same patient. Splicing factors that promote exon inclusion or factors that promote exon skipping can promote increases of correctly spliced transcripts, depending on the molecular defect. Inconsistent results were reported regarding the required level of corrected or mutated CFTR that had to be reached in order to achieve normal function.

Diversity of the basic defect of homozygous CFTR mutation genotypes in humans.
J Med Genet. 2008 Jan;45(1):47-54., [PMID:18178635]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Knowledge of how CFTR mutations other than F508del translate into the basic defect in cystic fibrosis (CF) is scarce due to the low incidence of homozygous index cases. METHODS: 17 individuals who are homozygous for deletions, missense, stop or splice site mutations in the CFTR gene were investigated for clinical symptoms of CF and assessed in CFTR function by sweat test, nasal potential difference and intestinal current measurement. RESULTS: CFTR activity in sweat gland, upper airways and distal intestine was normal for homozygous carriers of G314E or L997F and in the range of F508del homozygotes for homozygous carriers of E92K, W1098L, R553X, R1162X, CFTRdele2(ins186) or CFTRdele2,3(21 kb). Homozygotes for M1101K, 1898+3 A-G or 3849+10 kb C-T were not consistent CF or non-CF in the three bioassays. 14 individuals exhibited some chloride conductance in the airways and/or in the intestine which was identified by the differential response to cAMP and DIDS as being caused by CFTR or at least two other chloride conductances. DISCUSSION: CFTR mutations may lead to unusual electrophysiological or clinical manifestations. In vivo and ex vivo functional assessment of CFTR function and in-depth clinical examination of the index cases are indicated to classify yet uncharacterised CFTR mutations as either disease-causing lesions, risk factors, modifiers or neutral variants.

56 The homozygotes for E92K,16 W1098L or M1101K17 showed highly elevated sweat chloride concentrations in the CF range on several occasions, whereas the homozygotes for G314E18 or L997F19 20 had normal sweat electrolytes like non-CF healthy controls (table 2). Login to comment

59 The missense mutation E92K results from a G-to-A transition in the first base of exon 4 and hence may not also lead to the substitution of a glutamate by a lysine but also may affect splicing as it has been observed for the stop mutation E92X.21 The G314E and the M1101K homozygotes exhibited an intermediate chloride secretory phenotype between typical CF and typical non-CF.

N-terminal CFTR missense variants severely affect the behavior of the CFTR chloride channel.
Hum Mutat. 2008 May;29(5):738-49., [PMID:18306312]

Abstract [show]
Over 1,500 cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene sequence variations have been identified in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and related disorders involving an impaired function of the CFTR chloride channel. However, detailed structure-function analyses have only been established for a few of them. This study aimed evaluating the impact of eight N-terminus CFTR natural missense changes on channel behavior. By site-directed mutagenesis, we generated four CFTR variants in the N-terminal cytoplasmic tail (p.P5L, p.S50P, p.E60K, and p.R75Q) and four in the first transmembrane segment of membrane-spanning domain 1 (p.G85E/V, p.Y89C, and p.E92K). Immunoblot analysis revealed that p.S50P, p.E60K, p.G85E/V, and p.E92K produced only core-glycosylated proteins. Immunofluorescence and whole cell patch-clamp confirmed intracellular retention, thus reflecting a defect of CFTR folding and/or trafficking. In contrast, both p.R75Q and p.Y89C had a glycosylation pattern and a subcellular distribution comparable to the wild-type CFTR, while the percentage of mature p.P5L was considerably reduced, suggesting a major biogenesis flaw on this channel. Nevertheless, whole-cell chloride currents were recorded for all three variants. Single-channel patch-clamp analyses revealed that the channel activity of p.R75Q appeared similar to that of the wild-type CFTR, while both p.P5L and p.Y89C channels displayed abnormal gating. Overall, our results predict a major impact of the CFTR missense variants analyzed, except p.R75Q, on the CF phenotype and highlight the importance of the CFTR N-terminus on channel physiology.

213 Four of the variants (p.P5L, p.S50P, p.E60 K, and p.R75Q) are localized within the cytosolic N-terminal tail, and the remaining four (p.G85E, p.G85V, p.Y89C, and p.E92K) are embedded in three positions within the first transmembrane segment (TM1) of MSD1. Login to comment
215 Accordingly, using three different approaches (immunoblotting, immunocytochemistry, and electrophysiology) we found that 5 (p.S50P, p.E60K, p.G85E, p.G85V, and p.E92K) out of the 8 variants failed to mature, showing an analogous behavior than the most common F508del mutation. Login to comment

Cell Physiol Biochem. 2009;24(5-6):335-46. Epub 2009 Nov 4., [PMID:19910674]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Mutations in the CFTR gene cause Cystic Fibrosis (CF) the most common life-threatening autosomal recessive disease affecting Caucasians. We identified a CFTR mutation (c.120del23) abolishing the normal translation initiation codon, which occurs in two Portuguese CF patients. This study aims at functionally characterizing the effect of this novel mutation. METHODS: RNA and protein techniques were applied to both native tissues from CF patients and recombinant cells expressing CFTR constructs to determine whether c.120del23 allows CFTR protein production through usage of alternative internal codons, and to characterize the putative truncated CFTR form(s). RESULTS: Our data show that two shorter forms of CFTR protein are produced when the initiation translation codon is deleted indicating usage of internal initiation codons. The N-truncated CFTR generated by this mutation has decreased stability, very low processing efficiency, and drastically reduced function. Analysis of mutants of four methionine codons downstream to M1 (M82, M150, M152, M156) revealed that each of the codons M150/M152/M156 (exon 4) can mediate CFTR alternative translation. CONCLUSIONS: The CFTR N-terminus has an important role in avoiding CFTR turnover and in rendering effective its plasma membrane traffic. These data correlate well with the severe clinical phenotype of CF patients bearing the c.120del23 mutation.

172 Altogether, these results for c.120del23-CFTR suggest an important role of the N-terminus in CFTR folding, stability and processing, which was also evidenced by other studies demonstrating that point mutations in this region - S50P; E60K; G85E/V; E92K - prevent CFTR maturation [35, 36].

J Clin Microbiol. 2010 Jul;48(7):2381-6. Epub 2010 May 12., [PMID:20463155]

Abstract [show]
We report eight cases of airway colonization by Geosmithia argillacea in patients with cystic fibrosis. This filamentous fungus, resembling members of the genera Penicillium and Paecilomyces, was identified by molecular analysis. All patients carried a mutation on each CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) allele, with at least one copy of the F508del mutation. The first isolation of this fungus occurred from F508del-homozygous patients at a younger age than in F508del-heterozygous patients. Before recovery of G. argillacea, all patients were treated with itraconazole; two of them had also received voriconazole for an Aspergillus fumigatus infection. However, antifungal susceptibility patterns showed high MICs of voriconazole for all isolates, and high MICs of amphotericin B and itraconazole for the majority of them, but mostly low minimum effective concentrations (MECs) of caspofungin. The appearance and persistence of G. argillacea in the airways were not associated with exacerbation of the disease. However, the clinical implications of G. argillacea, particularly in immunocompromised patients, remain a concern, particularly given recent observations suggesting that this fungus may also cause disseminated infections.

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

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

Newborn screening for cystic fibrosis: Polish 4 years' experience with CFTR sequencing strategy.
Eur J Hum Genet. 2012 Aug 15. doi: 10.1038/ejhg.2012.180., [PMID:22892530]

Abstract [show]
Newborn screening for cystic fibrosis (NBS CF) in Poland was started in September 2006. Summary from 4 years' experience is presented in this study. The immunoreactive trypsin/DNA sequencing strategy was implemented. The group of 1 212 487 newborns were screened for cystic fibrosis during the programme. We identified a total of 221 CF cases during this period, including, 4 CF cases were reported to be omitted by NBS CF. Disease incidence in Poland based on the programme results was estimated as 1/4394 and carrier frequency as 1/33. The frequency of the F508del was similar (62%) to population data previously reported. This strategy allowed us to identify 29 affected infants with rare genotypes. The frequency of some mutations (eg, 2184insA, K710X) was assessed in Poland for the first time. Thus, sequencing assay seems to be accurate method for screening programme using blood spots in the Polish population.European Journal of Human Genetics advance online publication, 15 August 2012; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2012.180.

Frequency of the hyperactive W493R ENaC variant in carriers of a CFTR mutation.
J Cyst Fibros. 2012 Jan;11(1):53-5. Epub 2011 Sep 13., [PMID:21917531]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: The basic defect of the autosomal recessive disorder cystic fibrosis (CF) manifests in chloride hyposecretion and sodium hyperabsorption. CF-like disease has been reported in a heterozygous carrier of F508del CFTR and the hyperactive variant p.W493R-SCNN1A of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). METHODS: The hypothesis that heterozygosity for p.W493R-SCNN1A and one loss-of-function CFTR mutation causes or predisposes to CF or CF-like disease was tested in 441 parents of a child with CF. RESULTS: p.W493R-SCNN1A was detected in three female carriers of F508del CFTR who did not show any symptoms of respiratory or intestinal disease that could be interpreted as the manifestation of CF or CFTR-related disorder. Frequency of p.W493R was lower in CF parents than in Caucasian control subjects. CONCLUSIONS: A hyperactive ENaC does not necessarily cause CF-like disease in a CF gene carrier, but its low frequency in CF parents suggests that it is a risk factor.

Borderline sweat test: Utility and limits of genetic analysis for the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.
Clin Biochem. 2009 May;42(7-8):611-6. Epub 2009 Jan 24., [PMID:19318035]

Abstract [show]
OBJECTIVE: The sweat test remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) even despite the availability of molecular analysis of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator gene (CFTR). We investigated the relationship between CFTR mutation analysis and sweat chloride concentration in a cohort of subjects with borderline sweat test values, in order to identify misdiagnosis of CF. DESIGN AND METHODS: In the period between March 2006 and February 2008 we performed 773 sweat tests in individuals referred for suspect CF. Ninety-one subjects had chloride values in the border-line range. Clinicians required CFTR gene complete scanning on 66 of them. RESULTS: The mean value of sweat chloride in the DNA negative subjects was lower than in those with at least one CFTR mutation. Our data indicate that 39 mEq/l is the best sensitivity trade off for the sweat test with respect to genotype. CONCLUSIONS: To optimise diagnostic accuracy of reference intervals, it may be useful to modify from 30 to 39 mEq/l the threshold for sweat chloride electrolytes.

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.

Association of domains within the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.
Biochemistry. 1997 Feb 11;36(6):1287-94., [PMID:9063876]

Abstract [show]
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a Cl- channel composed of two membrane-spanning domains (MSD), two nucleotide-binding domains (NBD), and an R domain. To understand how these domains interact, we expressed various constructs of CFTR containing membrane-spanning and/or cytosolic domains either separately or together. We then tested for functional association of these domains using the SPQ halide-efflux assay or physical association using coimmunoprecipitation experiments. Coexpression of the amino-terminal half (MSD1, NBD1, and the R domain) and the carboxy-terminal half (MSD2 and NBD2) of CFTR generated functional Cl- channel activity whereas expression of either alone did not give a signal with the SPQ assay. This result suggests that the two halves associate in the membrane. Using domain-specific antibodies, we found that either half of CFTR could coimmunoprecipitate the other, suggesting a physical association. Coimmunoprecipitation persisted between halves missing the NBDs, the R domain, or the amino-terminal tail. Moreover, constructs from MSD1 containing only the first and second transmembrane sequences and intervening extracellular loop were sufficient for interaction with MSD2. These data suggest that interactions between the two membrane-spanning domains of CFTR may mediate association between the two halves of the protein.

Missense mutation R1066C in the second transmembrane domain of CFTR causes a severe cystic fibrosis phenotype: study of 19 heterozygous and 2 homozygous patients.
Hum Mutat. 1997;10(5):387-92., [PMID:9375855]

Abstract [show]
We report the clinical features of 21 unrelated cystic fibrosis (CF) patients from Portugal and Spain, who carry the mutation R1066C in the CFTR gene. The current age of the patients was higher in the R1066C/any mutation group (P < 0.01), as compared to the deltaF508/deltaF508 group. Poor values for lung radiological involvement (Chrispin-Norman) and general status (Shwachman-Kulcycki) were observed in the R1066C/any mutation group (P < 0.005 and P < 0.0004). A slightly, but not significantly worse lung function was found in the R1066C/any mutation group when compared with the deltaF508/deltaF508 patients. No significant differences were detected regarding the age at diagnosis, sweat Cl-values, or percentiles of height and weight between the two groups. Neither were significant differences observed regarding sex, meconium ileus (4.7% vs. 11.1%), dehydration (10.5% vs. 14.7%), or pancreatic insufficiency (PI) (100% vs. 97.8%). The proportion of patients with lung colonization by bacterial pathogens was slightly, but not significantly higher in the R1066C/any mutation group (70.0%), as compared with the deltaF508/deltaF508 group (57.5%). Other clinical complications were significantly more frequent in the R1066C/any mutation patients(P < 0.02) than in the deltaF508/deltaF508 group. The two homozygous R1066C/R1066C patients died at the ages of 3 months and 7 years. The data presented in this study clearly demonstrate that the R1066C mutation is responsible for a severe phenotype similar to that observed in homozygous deltaF508 patients. The poor clinical scores and complications of patients with the R1066C mutation are probably related to their slightly longer survival.

Thirteen cystic fibrosis patients, 12 compound heterozygous and one homozygous for the missense mutation G85E: a pancreatic sufficiency/insufficiency mutation with variable clinical presentation.
J Med Genet. 1996 Oct;33(10):820-2., [PMID:8933333]

Abstract [show]
To study the severity of mutation G85E, located in the first membrane spanning domain of the CFTR gene, we studied the clinical features of 13 Spanish patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) carrying this mutation. G85E accounts for about 1% of Spanish CF alleles. One patient was homozygous G85E/G85E and the rest were compound heterozygotes for G85E and other mutations (delta F508 nine patients, delta I507 two patients, and 712-1G > T one patient). The characteristics of the pooled G85E/any mutation group were compared with those of 30 delta F508 homozygotes. Mean age at diagnosis and percentage of ideal height for age were higher in the G85E/any mutation group (4.2 (SD 4.7) v 2.4 (SD 2.3), p < 0.05, and 102.8 (SD 4.7) v 97.8 (SD 4.1), p < 0.01), both probably related to the greater prevalence of pancreatic sufficiency (70% v 0%, p < 0.01). The G85E homozygote was pancreatic sufficient. Sweat sodium levels were slightly higher, and salt loss related problems more frequent, in the G85E/any group. Two of the G85E patients died of respiratory failure aged 6 and 14 years. Striking discordance in the phenotype was observed in two pairs of sibs, one of them dizygotic twins, suggesting that factors, genetic and environmental, other than CFTR genotype are important in determining CF phenotype.

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.

Haplotype analysis of 94 cystic fibrosis mutations with seven polymorphic CFTR DNA markers.
Hum Mutat. 1996;8(2):149-59., [PMID:8844213]

Abstract [show]
We have analyzed 416 normal and 467 chromosomes carrying 94 different cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations with polymorphic genetic markers J44, IVS6aGATT, IVS8CA, T854, IVS17BTA, IVS17BCA, and TUB20. The number of mutations found with each haplotype is proportional to its frequency among normal chromosomes, suggesting that there is no preferential haplotype in which mutations arise and thus excluding possible selection for specific haplotypes. While many common mutations in the worldwide CF population showed absence of haplotype variation, indicating their recent origins, some mutations were associated with more than one haplotype. The most common CF mutations, delta F508, G542X, and N1303K, showed the highest number of slippage events at microsatellites, suggesting that they are the most ancient CF mutations. Recurrence was probably the case for 9 CF mutations (R117H, H199Y, R347YH, R347P, L558S, 2184insA, 3272-26A-->G, R1162X, and 3849 + 10kbC-->T). This analysis of 94 CF mutations should facilitate mutation screening and provides useful data for studies on population genetics of CF.

Extensive analysis of 40 infertile patients with congenital absence of the vas deferens: in 50% of cases only one CFTR allele could be detected.
Hum Genet. 1995 Feb;95(2):205-11., [PMID:7532150]

Abstract [show]
Mutations in the cystic fibrosis (CF) conductance transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene have been detected in patients with CF and in males with infertility attributable to congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD). Thirty individuals with CBAVD and 10 with congenital unilateral absence of the vas deferens (CUAVD) were analyzed by single-strand conformation analysis and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis for mutations in most of the CFTR gene. All 40 individuals were pancreatic sufficient, but twenty patients had recurrent or sporadic respiratory infections, asthma/asthmatic bronchitis, and/or rhino-sinusitis. Agenesia or displasia of one or both seminal vesicles was detected in 30 men and other urogenital malformations were present in six subjects. Among the 40 samples, we identified 13 different CFTR mutations, two of which were previously unknown. One new mutation in exon 4 was the deletion of glutamic acid at codon 115 (delta E115). A second new mutation was found in exon 17b, viz., an A --> C substitution at position 3311, changing lysine to threonine at codon 1060 (K1060T). CFTR mutations were detected in 22 out of 30 (73.3%) CBAVD patients and in one out of 10 (10%) CUAVD individuals, showing a significantly lower incidence of CFTR mutations in CBAVD/CUAVD patients (P << 0.0001), compared with that found in the CF patient population. Only three CBAVD patients were found with more than one CFTR mutation (delta F508/L206W, delta F508/R74W + D1270N, R117H/712-1G --> T), highlighting L206W, R74W/D1270N, and R117H as benign CF mutations. Sweat electrolyte values were increased in 76.6% of CBAVD patients, but three individuals without CFTR mutations had normal sweat electrolyte levels (10% of the total CBAVD patients), suggesting that factors other than CFTR mutations are involved in CBAVD. The failure to identify a second mutation in exons and their flanking regions of the CFTR gene suggests that these mutations could be located in introns or in the promoter region of CFTR. Such mutations could result in CFTR levels below the minimum 6%-10% necessary for normal protein function.

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.

Analysis of mutations and alternative splicing patterns in the CFTR gene using mRNA derived from nasal epithelial cells.
Hum Mol Genet. 1994 Jul;3(7):1141-6., [PMID:7526925]

Abstract [show]
Ten to fifteen percent of CF chromosomes carry mutations which are not detected by routine screening of the CFTR gene for known mutations. Many techniques have been used to screen the CFTR gene for these remaining mutations. Most of the methods use genomic DNA, and since the CFTR gene contains 27 exons, are necessarily labour intensive. We have screened the entire coding region of CFTR, by chemical cleavage of 7 overlapping segments of amplified cDNA. Using this method we have identified 4 sequence changes which had not been detected by screening genomic DNA, and successfully detected 10 out of 13 known mutations. In addition, we have identified 8 alternatively spliced forms of CFTR mRNA, 4 of which have not been described previously. These include transcripts lacking a) exon 3, b) exons 2 + 3, c) exons 9 + 12, and d) the final 357 bp of exon 15 as a result of use of the cryptic splice donor site CA2863/GTTCGT).

Sensitivity of single-strand conformation polymorphism and heteroduplex method for mutation detection in the cystic fibrosis gene.
Hum Mol Genet. 1994 May;3(5):801-7., [PMID:7521710]

Abstract [show]
The gene responsible for cystic fibrosis (CF) contains 27 coding exons and more than 300 independent mutations have been identified. An efficient and optimized strategy is required to identify additional mutations and/or to screen patient samples for the presence of known mutations. We have tested several different conditions for performing single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis in order to determine the efficiency of the method and to identify the optimum conditions for mutation detection. Each exon and corresponding exon boundaries were amplified. A panel of 134 known CF mutations were used to test the efficiency of detection of mutations. The SSCP conditions were varied by altering the percentage and cross-linking of the acrylamide, employing MDE (an acrylamide substitute), and by adding sucrose and glycerol. The presence of heteroduplexes could be detected on most gels and in some cases contributed to the ability to distinguish certain mutations. Each analysis condition detected 75-98% of the mutations, and all of the mutations could be detected by at least one condition. Therefore, an optimized SSCP analysis can be used to efficiently screen for mutations in a large gene.

Abstract [show]
We report the identification of a new frameshift mutation (936delTA) in exon 6b of the CFTR gene. In the screening of 486 unrelated Spanish CF patients we found a patient homozygous for 936delTA (with consanguineous parents) and a patient heterozygous for delta F508 and 936delTA. Genotype-phenotype correlation studies showed that 936delTA is associated with pancreatic insufficiency and chronic pulmonary colonisation.

Analysis of the CFTR gene confirms the high genetic heterogeneity of the Spanish population: 43 mutations account for only 78% of CF chromosomes.
Hum Genet. 1994 Apr;93(4):447-51., [PMID:7513293]

Abstract [show]
We have analysed 972 unrelated Spanish cystic fibrosis patients for 70 known mutations. Analysis was performed on exons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6a, 6b, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14a, 14b, 15, 16, 17b, 18, 19, 20 and 21 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene using single strand conformation polymorphism analysis and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. The major mutation delta F508 accounts for 50.6% of CF chromosomes, whereas another 42 mutations account for 27.6% of CF chromosomes, with 21.8% of Spanish CF chromosomes remaining uncharacterized. At present, we have identified 36 mutations that have frequency of less than 1% and that are spread over 15 different exons. This indicates that, in the Spanish population, with the exception of delta F508 (50.6%) and G542X (8%), the mutations are not concentrated in a few exons of the gene nor are there any predominating mutations. This high degree of genetic heterogeneity is mainly a result of the different ethnic groups that have populated Spain and of the maintenance of separated population sets (Basques, Arab-Andalusian, Mediterranean, Canarian and Gallician). The high proportion of CF chromosomes still unidentified (21.8%) together with association analysis with intragenic markers suggest that at least 100 different mutations causing CF are present in our population.

Retrospective study of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations in Guthrie cards from a large cohort of neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis.
Hum Genet. 1994 Apr;93(4):429-34., [PMID:7513292]

Abstract [show]
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene encodes a cAMP-activated chloride channel, and in individuals with both alleles of the gene mutated, symptoms of CF disease are manifest. With more than 300 mutations so far described in the gene the profile of mutant alleles in a population is specific to its ethnic origin. For an analysis with an unbiased recruitment of the CF alleles in neonates of similar origin (Normandy, France), we have retrospectively analyzed the Guthrie cards of affected newborns, diagnosed by the immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) assay. Analysis of the 27 exons of the CFTR gene using a GC clamp denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) assay has enabled us to identify over 96% of the mutated alleles. Two of these were novel mutations. We would like to propose this strategy as an efficient method of retrospective molecular genetic diagnosis that can be performed wherever Guthrie cards can be obtained. Knowledge of rare alleles could be a prerequisite for CF therapy in the future.

Microsatellite haplotypes for cystic fibrosis: mutation frameworks and evolutionary tracers.
Hum Mol Genet. 1993 Jul;2(7):1015-22., [PMID:7689896]

Abstract [show]
Highly informative intragenic microsatellite markers within the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene allow the analysis of associations between specific mutations and haplotypes. We have analysed 440 Spanish CF families carrying 22 different CF mutations and have established haplotypes in 1,036 chromosomes for microsatellites IVS8CA, IVS17BTA and IVS17BCA. No new alleles were detected at the three CFTR microsatellites, in more than 3,000 meiosis analysed (estimated mutation rate of less than 3.3 x 10(-4)). The evolution of 16 haplotypes associated with the most common CF mutation, delta F508, and the low mutation rate at these microsatellite loci suggest that delta F508 originated within the 23-31-13 haplotype at least 53,000 years ago, very early in the history of the European population. The number of haplotype changes seen for two other common mutations, G542X (haplotype 23-33-13) and N1303K (23-31-13), suggests that they originated at least 35,000 years ago. Microsatellite allele variability associated with delta F508, G542X and N1303K demonstrates that slippage and mispairing is the main mechanism generating microsatellite alleles. In spite of the haplotype variability detected for these 3 common mutations, the association between haplotype and mutations is very strong. Mutations 1609delCA, 3667del4, delta I507 and G551D are all associated with haplotype 16-7-17, which has a frequency of 14.5% in normal chromosomes. 5 haplotypes bearing specific CF mutations were not found in normal chromosomes. Haplotype 16-46-13 is strongly associated with CF mutations E92K and 3601-111G-->C. About 23% of CF chromosomes with unknown mutations show significant linkage disequilibrium for microsatellite haplotypes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Ivacaftor (KALYDECO, VX-770) is a CFTR potentiator that increased CFTR channel activity and improved lung function in patients age 6 years and older with CF who have the G551D-CFTR gating mutation. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of ivacaftor on mutant CFTR protein forms with defects in protein processing and/or channel function. METHODS: The effect of ivacaftor on CFTR function was tested in electrophysiological studies using a panel of Fischer rat thyroid (FRT) cells expressing 54 missense CFTR mutations that cause defects in the amount or function of CFTR at the cell surface. RESULTS: Ivacaftor potentiated multiple mutant CFTR protein forms that produce functional CFTR at the cell surface. These included mutant CFTR forms with mild defects in CFTR processing or mild defects in CFTR channel conductance. CONCLUSIONS: These in vitro data indicated that ivacaftor is a broad acting CFTR potentiator and could be used to help stratify patients with CF who have different CFTR genotypes for studies investigating the potential clinical benefit of ivacaftor.

VX-809 corrects folding defects in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein through action on membrane-spanning domain 1.
Mol Biol Cell. 2013 Oct;24(19):3016-24. doi: 10.1091/mbc.E13-05-0240. Epub 2013 Aug 7., [PMID:23924900]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a fatal genetic disorder associated with defective hydration of lung airways due to the loss of chloride transport through the CF transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR). CFTR contains two membrane-spanning domains (MSDs), two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs), and a regulatory domain, and its channel assembly requires multiple interdomain contacts. The most common CF-causing mutation, F508del, occurs in NBD1 and results in misfolding and premature degradation of F508del-CFTR. VX-809 is an investigational CFTR corrector that partially restores CFTR function in people who are homozygous for F508del-CFTR. To identify the folding defect(s) in F508del-CFTR that must be repaired to treat CF, we explored the mechanism of VX-809 action. VX-809 stabilized an N-terminal domain in CFTR that contains only MSD1 and efficaciously restored function to CFTR forms that have missense mutations in MSD1. The action of VX-809 on MSD1 appears to suppress folding defects in F508del-CFTR by enhancing interactions among the NBD1, MSD1, and MSD2 domains. The ability of VX-809 to correct F508del-CFTR is enhanced when combined with mutations that improve F508del-NBD1 interaction with MSD2. These data suggest that the use of VX-809 in combination with an additional CFTR corrector that suppresses folding defects downstream of MSD1 may further enhance CFTR function in people with F508del-CFTR.

60 There are several CF-associated mutations in MSD1 that cause defects in CFTR processing and function: N-terminal tail (E56K and P67L), TM1 (E92K), TM2 (L206W), and TM4 (V232D) (Figure 4, A-E). Login to comment
62 In contrast, 5 bc;M VX-809 only partially restored folding and function to E92K and V232D (Figure 4, A and E). Login to comment
63 Interestingly, VX-809 demonstrated reduced potency for E92K-CFTR relative to F508del-CFTR, for both correcting folding and function (Figure 4, B and C), yet was able to fully restore E92K-CFTR at 30 bc;M. Login to comment
64 However, Corr4a could not restore E92K-CFTR function (Figure 4D). Login to comment
108 Because E92K-CFTR was corrected to normal levels of function but F508del was corrected to ~15% of normal function, the impact of VX-809 on the double mutation E92K/F508del-CFTR was tested. Login to comment
110 The effect of VX-809 on the C-band of E92K/F508del-CFTR was consistent with the dose response for E92K-CFTR, while the level of efficacy was consistent with that for F508del-CFTR. Login to comment
111 Thus the E92K mutation causes a folding defect in E92K/F508del-CFTR that requires a higher compound concentration, but the folding defects caused by F508del limit the efficacy of VX-809. Login to comment
114 E92K is unique among these mutants, as it alters the potency of VX-809, yet the biogenic defects caused by this mutation are completely corrected by VX-809. Login to comment

CFTR mutations spectrum and the efficiency of molecular diagnostics in Polish cystic fibrosis patients.
PLoS One. 2014 Feb 26;9(2):e89094. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0089094. eCollection 2014., [PMID:24586523]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene (CFTR). In light of the strong allelic heterogeneity and regional specificity of the mutation spectrum, the strategy of molecular diagnostics and counseling in CF requires genetic tests to reflect the frequency profile characteristic for a given population. The goal of the study was to provide an updated comprehensive estimation of the distribution of CFTR mutations in Polish CF patients and to assess the effectiveness of INNOLiPA_CFTR tests in Polish population. The analyzed cohort consisted of 738 patients with the clinically confirmed CF diagnosis, prescreened for molecular defects using INNOLiPA_CFTR panels from Innogenetics. A combined efficiency of INNOLiPA CFTR_19 and CFTR_17_TnUpdate tests was 75.5%; both mutations were detected in 68.2%, and one mutation in 14.8% of the affected individuals. The group composed of all the patients with only one or with no mutation detected (109 and 126 individuals, respectively) was analyzed further using a mutation screening approach, i.e. SSCP/HD (single strand conformational polymorphism/heteroduplex) analysis of PCR products followed by sequencing of the coding sequence. As a result, 53 more mutations were found in 97 patients. The overall efficiency of the CF allele detection was 82.5% (7.0% increase compared to INNOLiPA tests alone). The distribution of the most frequent mutations in Poland was assessed. Most of the mutations repetitively found in Polish patients had been previously described in other European populations. The most frequent mutated allele, F508del, represented 54.5% of Polish CF chromosomes. Another eight mutations had frequencies over 1%, 24 had frequencies between 1 and 0.1%; c.2052-2053insA and c.3468+2_3468+3insT were the most frequent non-INNOLiPA mutations. Mutation distribution described herein is also relevant to the Polish diaspora. Our study also demonstrates that the reported efficiency of mutation detection strongly depends on the diagnostic experience of referring health centers.

In absence of experimental 3D structures, several homology models, based on ABC exporter 3D structures, have provided significant insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the function of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, a chloride channel whose defects are associated with cystic fibrosis (CF). Until now, these models, however, did not furnished much insights into the continuous way that ions could follow from the cytosol to the extracellular milieu in the open form of the channel. Here, we have built a refined model of CFTR, based on the outward-facing Sav1866 experimental 3D structure and integrating the evolutionary and structural information available today. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed significant conformational changes, resulting in a full-open channel, accessible from the cytosol through lateral tunnels displayed in the long intracellular loops (ICLs). At the same time, the region of nucleotide-binding domain 1 in contact with one of the ICLs and carrying amino acid F508, the deletion of which is the most common CF-causing mutation, was found to adopt an alternative but stable position. Then, in a second step, this first stable full-open conformation evolved toward another stable state, in which only a limited displacement of the upper part of the transmembrane helices leads to a closure of the channel, in a conformation very close to that adopted by the Atm1 ABC exporter, in an inward-facing conformation. These models, supported by experimental data, provide significant new insights into the CFTR structure-function relationships and into the possible impact of CF-causing mutations.

346 First, almost all CF-causing mutations involving residues located in the MSD transmembrane segments are encountered in MSD1 and generally concern positions lining the pore (G85E, E92K, D110H, P205S, R334W, I336K, T338I, S341P, R347H/R347P, and R352Q) (Fig. 7a). Login to comment

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.

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.

Abstract [show]
Development of therapeutic molecules with clinical efficacy as modulators of defective CFTR includes efforts to identify potentiators that can overcome or repair the gating defect in mutant CFTR channels. This has taken a great leap forward with the identification of the potentiator VX-770, now available to patients as "Kalydeco." Other small molecules with different chemical structure also are capable of potentiating the activity of either wild-type or mutant CFTR, suggesting that there are features of the protein that may be targeted to achieve stimulation of channel activity by structurally diverse compounds. However, neither the mechanisms by which these compounds potentiate mutant CFTR nor the site(s) where these compounds bind have been identified. This knowledge gap partly reflects the lack of appropriate experimental models to provide clues toward the identification of binding sites. Here, we have compared the channel behavior and response to novel and known potentiators of human CFTR (hCFTR) and murine (mCFTR) expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Both hCFTR and mCFTR were blocked by GlyH-101 from the extracellular side, but mCFTR activity was increased with GlyH-101 applied directly to the cytoplasmic side. Similarly, glibenclamide only exhibited a blocking effect on hCFTR but both blocked and potentiated mCFTR in excised membrane patches and in intact oocytes. The clinically used CFTR potentiator VX-770 transiently increased hCFTR by approximately 13% but potentiated mCFTR significantly more strongly. Our results suggest that mCFTR pharmacological sensitivities differ from hCFTR, which will provide a useful tool for identifying the binding sites and mechanism for these potentiators.

306 However, recent data indicating that VX-770 potentiates channels bearing multiple disease-causing mutations, spread across CFTR, and that VX-770 potentiates one mutant but not another one in the same domain (for example, VX-770 potentiated TM mutants T338I- and R347H- but not S341P- and E92K-CFTR and potentiated cytoplasmic loop mutants E193K- and K1060T- but not R1066M- and L1065P-CFTR) do not support this conclusion (30, 38).
