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

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

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.

Longitudinal follow-up of exocrine pancreatic function in pancreatic sufficient cystic fibrosis patients using the fecal elastase-1 test.
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2003 Apr;36(4):474-8., [PMID:12658038]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: A progressive decline in pancreatic function is possible in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with exocrine pancreatic sufficiency. The secretin-cholecystokinin test is invasive and not acceptable as a repeatable procedure for children. Steatorrhea, conversely, has low sensitivity. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of the noninvasive fecal elastase-1 (E1) test for the longitudinal assessment of exocrine pancreatic function (EPF) in pancreatic-sufficient (PS) CF patients. METHODS: One hundred eighty-four CF patients were included in the study. In all subjects, E1 concentrations and fecal fat excretion were measured. PS patients were followed for 5 years. RESULTS: At the beginning of the study, 35 (19.0%) CF patients were PS, and 32 (17.4%) had normal E1 concentrations. Longitudinal measurements of E1 concentrations in PS patients with CF demonstrated stable enzyme output in 27 and gradual decrease in 8. The decrease was rapid in five infant patients and gradual in three older patients. The decrease of E1 concentrations preceded the appearance of steatorrhea in all eight subjects. CONCLUSIONS: The decline of EPF in patients with CF appears more frequently during the first months and years of life. However, late PS to pancreatic-insufficient (PI) conversion is also possible. The appearance of maldigestion is preceded by the decrease of fecal E1 concentration. Thus, the fecal E1 test is a helpful screening tool for the longitudinal assessment of declining EPF in PS patients with CF to demonstrate pancreatic deterioration. In suspected patients, fecal fat excretion should be assessed.

Genetic disorders of the pancreas.

Abstract [show]
The venues opened to all by the remarkable studies of the genome are just starting to become manifest; they can now distinguish different variants of a disease; they are given the tools to better understand the pathophysiology of illness; they hope to be able to provide better treatment alternatives to our patients. The examples described in this review demonstrate the applicability of these concepts to pancreatic disorders. Researchers may be just scratching the surface at this time, but the potential is enormous. Many philosophic and ethical questions need to be answered as physicians move along: Should all family members of an index case be screened? Who should pay for testing? Who should get results? But, without the participation of so many patients, their family members, and numerous volunteers, researchers would not have witnessed the bridging of so many gaps as they have so far. All of us may now look forward to the application of this incredible knowledge to the therapeutic solutions so eagerly awaited.

Isolated idiopathic chronic pancreatitis associated with a compound heterozygosity for two mutations of the CFTR gene.
Gastroenterol Clin Biol. 2003 Aug-Sep;27(8-9):821-4., [PMID:14586256]

Abstract [show]
We report the case of a patient suffering from idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) and compound heterozygous for mutations G542X and S1235R of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene. The patient had normal sweat test and no other clinical sign usually linked with a typical or moderate pathology (bronchiectasis, nasal polyposis, congenital absence of the vas deferens) of the CFTR gene. G542X is a severe mutation, which is usually found in classical cystic fibrosis when associated with other severe mutations. S1235R is a quite rare abnormality recently reported as being potentially pathogenic when combined in trans with a second CF mutation. Our case is quite similar to the only other six patients in the literature in whom only the pancreas is affected and who bear a rare mutation with moderate effect. The history and the clinical features of our patient indicate an unambiguous isolated ICP in which the presence of the S1235R mutation--in trans with regard to G542X--is likely responsible for the ICP phenotype. This case could throw light on some of the as yet poorly known abnormalities of the CFTR gene in the ICP phenotype.

Atypical sinusitis in adults must lead to looking for cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia.
Laryngoscope. 2004 May;114(5):839-43., [PMID:15126740]

Abstract [show]
HYPOTHESES/OBJECTIVES:: In adults, purulent pansinusitis or nasal polyposis starting early in life or that is permanently infected or associated either with chronic bronchial infection, infertility, or situs inversus are uncommon. In these atypical cases of chronic sinusitis (ACS), a primary dysfunction of the mucociliary clearance can be suspected. Adult patients with ACS were therefore investigated to detect primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) or cystic fibrosis (CF). STUDY DESIGN: Open, prospective study. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-two patients with ACS were investigated with ciliary beat frequency and ultrastructure analysis in nasal cells and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutation analysis in blood leukocytes. RESULTS: The diagnosis of PCD was confirmed in seven (17%) patients. At least one CFTR gene mutation was detected in 16 (38%) patients. The diagnosis of CF was suggested in three (7%) compound heterozygous patients. Another 13 (31%) patients were heterozygous for a CFTR gene mutation or a complex allele. Comparison of clinical features of ACS showed that only a family history of chronic sinusitis (P <.01) or chronic bronchitis (P <.02) and the presence of diffuse bronchiectasis (P <.0001) or serous otitis media (P <.0001) were significantly more frequent in PCD patients than in patients carrying CFTR gene mutations or those without PCD or CFTR gene mutations. CONCLUSIONS: ACS should be considered a remarkable entity in which congenital abnormalities of epithelial cells are frequently detected (55% of patients). The higher frequency of mutations in ACS patients compared with the general population suggests that heterozygoty for CFTR gene mutation could be a sinusitis-causing status.

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.

Reduced CFTR function and the pathobiology of idiopathic pancreatitis.
J Clin Gastroenterol. 2005 Apr;39(4 Suppl 2):S70-7., [PMID:15758663]

Abstract [show]
Idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) is the leading cause of chronic pancreatitis in children and nonalcoholic adults. The risk of developing ICP is increased in individuals who have mutations of the cystic fibrosis gene (CFTR) and of a trypsin inhibitor gene (PSTI). In studies from the United States and France, the risk of ICP is increased about 40-fold by having two abnormal copies of the CFTR gene, about 14-fold by having the N34S PSTI mutation, and about 500-fold by having both. When ICP patients have two abnormal copies of the CFTR gene, there is also evidence of reduced residual CFTR protein function in extrapancreatic tissues based on clinical findings and nasal ion transport responses. Thus, pancreatitis risk is highest in individuals who have abnormalities in both the pancreatic ducts (CFTR) and acini (PSTI). These findings indicate that PSTI is a modifier gene for CFTR-related ICP and have implications for the diagnosis and pathogenesis of pancreatitis.

Gender-sensitive association of CFTR gene mutations and 5T allele emerging from a large survey on infertility.
Mol Hum Reprod. 2005 Aug;11(8):607-14. Epub 2005 Aug 26., [PMID:16126774]

Abstract [show]
Human infertility in relation to mutations affecting the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene has been investigated by different authors. The role of additional variants, such as the possible forms of the thymidine allele (5T, 7T and 9T) of the acceptor splice site of intron 8, has in some instances been considered. However, a large-scale analysis of the CFTR gene and number of thymidine residues, alone and in combination, in the two sexes had not yet been addressed. This was the aim of this study. Two groups were compared, a control group of 20,532 subjects being screened for perspective reproduction, and the patient group represented by 1854 idiopathically infertile cases. Analyses involved PCR-based CFTR mutations assessment, reverse dot-blot IVS8-T polymorphism analyses, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and DNA sequencing. The expected 5T increase in infertile men was predominantly owing to the 5/9 genotypic class. The intrinsic rate of 5T fluctuated only slightly among groups, but some gender-related differences arose when comparing their association. Infertile men showed a significantly enriched 5T + CFTR mutation co-presence, distributed in the 5/9 and 5/7 classes. In contrast, females, from both the control and the infertile groups, showed a trend towards a pronounced reduction of such association. The statistical significance of the difference between expected and observed double occurrence of 5T + CFTR traits in women suggests, in line with other reports in the literature, a possible survival-hampering effect. Moreover, regardless of the 5T status, CFTR mutations appear not to be involved in female infertility. These results underline the importance of (i) assessing large sample populations and (ii) considering separately the two genders, whose genotypically opposite correlations with these phenomena may otherwise tend to mask each other.

Haplotype block structure study of the CFTR gene. Most variants are associated with the M470 allele in several European populations.
Eur J Hum Genet. 2006 Jan;14(1):85-93., [PMID:16251901]

Abstract [show]
An average of about 1700 CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) alleles from normal individuals from different European populations were extensively screened for DNA sequence variation. A total of 80 variants were observed: 61 coding SNSs (results already published), 13 noncoding SNSs, three STRs, two short deletions, and one nucleotide insertion. Eight DNA variants were classified as non-CF causing due to their high frequency of occurrence. Through this survey the CFTR has become the most exhaustively studied gene for its coding sequence variability and, though to a lesser extent, for its noncoding sequence variability as well. Interestingly, most variation was associated with the M470 allele, while the V470 allele showed an 'extended haplotype homozygosity' (EHH). These findings make us suggest a role for selection acting either on the M470V itself or through an hitchhiking mechanism involving a second site. The possible ancient origin of the V allele in an 'out of Africa' time frame is discussed.

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

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

Hum Reprod. 2007 May;22(5):1285-91. Epub 2007 Feb 28., [PMID:17329263]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene have been widely detected in infertile men with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD). Despite extensive analysis of the CFTR gene using varied screening methods, a number of cases remain unsolved and could be attributable to the presence of large gene rearrangements, as recently shown for CF patients. METHODS: We carried out a complete CFTR gene study in a group of 222 CBAVD patients with strict diagnosis criteria and without renal anomaly, and searched for rearrangements using a semi-quantitative assay in a subgroup of 61 patients. RESULTS: The overall mutation detection rate was 87.8%, and 82% of patients carried two mutations. Ten out of the 99 different mutations accounted for 74.6% of identified alleles. Four large rearrangements were found in patients who already carried a mild mutation: two known partial deletions (exons 17a to 18 and 22 to 23), a complete deletion and a new partial duplication (exons 11 to 13). The rearrangements accounted for 7% of the previously unknown alleles and 1% of all identified alleles. CONCLUSIONS: Screening for rearrangements should be part of comprehensive CFTR gene studies in CBAVD patients and may have impacts on genetic counselling for the patients and their families.

Cystic fibrosis in a southern Brazilian population: characteristics of 90% of the alleles.
Clin Genet. 2007 Sep;72(3):218-23., [PMID:17718859]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that frequently leads to death in infancy among Europeans and their descendants. The goals of the present study were to analyze the molecular aspects of CFTR gene characterizing mutations, their frequencies, and the haplotypes formed by four CFTR gene intragenic markers, IVS8-6(T)n, IVS8CA, IVS17bTA and IVS17bCA, in a southern Brazilian population of Caucasian origin. DNA samples from 56 non-related CF patients were analyzed using scanning techniques (single strand conformation polymorphism and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis), restriction fragment length polymorphism and direct DNA sequencing to identify the mutations. Our results revealed a total of 25 different CF mutations representing nearly 90% of CF alleles, two being novel mutations. Microsatellite haplotypes were defined for CF and normal alleles. The mutational spectrum and the associated haplotypes described for the first time in this study should prove relevant for genetic counselling and CF population screening in Brazil. Moreover, our results suggest the presence of a major Mediterranean component in the contemporary Brazilian CF patient pool.

Biochemistry. 2008 Feb 12;47(6):1465-73. Epub 2008 Jan 15., 2008-02-12 [PMID:18193900]

Abstract [show]
Understanding the structural basis for defects in protein function that underlie protein-based genetic diseases is the fundamental requirement for development of therapies. This situation is epitomized by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-the gene product known to be defective in CF patients-that appears particularly susceptible to misfolding when its biogenesis is hampered by mutations at critical loci. While the primary CF-related defect in CFTR has been localized to deletion of nucleotide binding fold (NBD1) residue Phe508, an increasing number of mutations (now ca. 1,500) are being associated with CF disease of varying severity. Hundreds of these mutations occur in the CFTR transmembrane domain, the site of the protein's chloride channel. This report summarizes our current knowledge on how mutation-dependent misfolding of the CFTR protein is recognized on the cellular level; how specific types of mutations can contribute to the misfolding process; and describes experimental approaches to detecting and elucidating the structural consequences of CF-phenotypic mutations.

Phenylalanine-508 mediates a cytoplasmic-membrane domain contact in the CFTR 3D structure crucial to assembly and channel function.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2008 Mar 4;105(9):3256-61. Epub 2008 Feb 27., 2008-03-04 [PMID:18305154]

Abstract [show]
Deletion of phenylalanine-508 (Phe-508) from the N-terminal nucleotide-binding domain (NBD1) of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family, disrupts both its folding and function and causes most cystic fibrosis. Most mutant nascent chains do not pass quality control in the ER, and those that do remain thermally unstable, only partially functional, and are rapidly endocytosed and degraded. Although the lack of the Phe-508 peptide backbone diminishes the NBD1 folding yield, the absence of the aromatic side chain is primarily responsible for defective CFTR assembly and channel gating. However, the site of interdomain contact by the side chain is unknown as is the high-resolution 3D structure of the complete protein. Here we present a 3D structure of CFTR, constructed by molecular modeling and supported biochemically, in which Phe-508 mediates a tertiary interaction between the surface of NBD1 and a cytoplasmic loop (CL4) in the C-terminal membrane-spanning domain (MSD2). This crucial cytoplasmic membrane interface, which is dynamically involved in regulation of channel gating, explains the known sensitivity of CFTR assembly to many disease-associated mutations in CL4 as well as NBD1 and provides a sharply focused target for small molecules to treat CF. In addition to identifying a key intramolecular site to be repaired therapeutically, our findings advance understanding of CFTR structure and function and provide a platform for focused biochemical studies of other features of this unique ABC ion channel.

Comparison of the gating behaviour of human and murine cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator Cl- channels expressed in mammalian cells.
J Physiol. 1998 Apr 15;508 ( Pt 2):379-92., 1998-04-15 [PMID:9508803]

Abstract [show]
1. To investigate the function of the murine cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a full-length cDNA encoding wild-type murine CFTR was assembled and stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. 2. Like human CFTR, murine CFTR formed Cl- channels that were regulated by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation and intracellular ATP. However, murine CFTR Cl- channels had a reduced single-channel conductance and decreased open probability (Po) compared with those of human CFTR. 3. Analysis of the dwell time distributions of single channels suggested that the reduced Po of murine CFTR was caused by both decreased residence in the open state and transitions to a new closed state, described by an intermediate closed time constant. 4. For both human and murine CFTR, ATP and ADP regulated the rate of exit from the long-lived closed state. 5. 5'-Adenylylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) and pyrophosphate, two compounds that disrupt cycles of ATP hydrolysis, stabilized the open state of human CFTR. However, neither agent locked murine CFTR Cl- channels open, although AMP-PNP increased the Po of murine CFTR. 6. The data indicate that although human and murine CFTR have many properties in common, some important differences in function are observed. These differences could be exploited in future studies to provide new understanding about CFTR.

Human-mouse cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chimeras identify regions that partially rescue CFTR-DeltaF508 processing and alter its gating defect.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2012 Jan 17;109(3):917-22. Epub 2011 Dec 30., [PMID:22210114]

Abstract [show]
The DeltaF508 mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene is the most common cause of cystic fibrosis. The mutation disrupts biosynthetic processing, reduces channel opening rate, and decreases protein lifetime. In contrast to human CFTR (hCFTR)-DeltaF508, mouse CFTR-DeltaF508 is partially processed to the cell surface, although it exhibits a functional defect similar to hCFTR-DeltaF508. To explore DeltaF508 abnormalities, we generated human-mouse chimeric channels. Substituting mouse nucleotide-binding domain-1 (mNBD1) into hCFTR partially rescued the DeltaF508-induced maturation defect, and substituting mouse membrane-spanning domain-2 or its intracellular loops (ICLs) into hCFTR prevented further DeltaF508-induced gating defects. The protective effect of the mouse ICLs was reverted by inserting mouse NBDs. Our results indicate that the DeltaF508 mutation affects maturation and gating via distinct regions of the protein; maturation of CFTR-DeltaF508 depends on NBD1, and the DeltaF508-induced gating defect depends on the interaction between the membrane-spanning domain-2 ICLs and the NBDs. These appear to be distinct processes, because none of the chimeras repaired both defects. This distinction was exemplified by the I539T mutation, which improved CFTR-DeltaF508 processing but worsened the gating defect. Our results, together with previous studies, suggest that many different NBD1 modifications improve CFTR-DeltaF508 maturation and that the effect of modifications can be additive. Thus, it might be possible to enhance processing by targeting several different regions of the domain or by targeting a network of CFTR-associated proteins. Because no one modification corrected both maturation and gating, perhaps more than a single agent will be required to correct all CFTR-DeltaF508 defects.

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.

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.

Disease-associated mutations in the fourth cytoplasmic loop of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator compromise biosynthetic processing and chloride channel activity.
J Biol Chem. 1996 Jun 21;271(25):15139-45., [PMID:8662892]

Abstract [show]
A cluster of 18 point mutations in exon 17b of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene has been detected in patients with cystic fibrosis. These mutations cause single amino acid substitutions in the most C-terminal cytoplasmic loop (CL4, residues 1035-1102) of the CFTR chloride channel. Heterologous expression of the mutants showed that 12 produced only core-glycosylated CFTR, which was retained in the endoplasmic reticulum; the other six mutants matured and reached the cell surface. In some cases substitution of one member of pairs of adjacent residues resulted in misprocessing, whereas the other did not. Thus, the secondary structure of CL4 may contribute crucially to the proper folding of the entire CFTR molecule. Cyclic AMP-stimulated iodide efflux was not detected from cells expressing the misprocessed variants but was from the other six, indicating that their mutations cause relatively subtle channel defects. Consistent with this, these latter mutations generally are present in patients who are pancreatic-sufficient, while the processing mutants are mostly from patients who are pancreatic-insufficient. Single-channel patch-clamp analysis demonstrated that the processed mutants had the same ohmic conductance as wild-type CFTR, but a lower open probability, generally due to an increase in channel mean closed time and a reduction in mean open time. This suggests that mutations in CL4 do not affect pore properties of CFTR, but disrupt the mechanism of channel gating.

Double mutant alleles: are they rare?
Hum Mol Genet. 1995 Jul;4(7):1169-71., [PMID:8528204]

Abstract [show]
The presence of two different mutations carried by the same CF allele has been demonstrated in four out of 44 Bulgarian CF patients during a systematic search of the entire coding sequence of the CFTR gene. Two of the double mutant alleles include one nonsense and one missense mutation and although the nonsense mutation can be considered to be the main defect, the amino acid substitutions are good candidates for disease-causing mutations as well. One double mutant carries two missense mutations whose contribution to the CF phenotype is difficult to evaluate. The findings suggest that double mutant alleles may be more common than expected and could account for some of the problems in phenotype-genotype correlations. Such alleles may have important implications for molecular diagnosis and genetic counselling.

A cluster of cystic fibrosis mutations in exon 17b of the CFTR gene: a site for rare mutations.
J Med Genet. 1994 Sep;31(9):731-4., [PMID:7529319]

Abstract [show]
Intensive screening has improved our understanding of the profile of mutations in the CFTR gene in which more than 400 mutations have been detected to date. In collaboration with several European laboratories we are involved in such analysis. We have identified 14 new mutations in exon 17b of CFTR, having analysed 780 CF chromosomes, and have compared the frequency of mutations in this exon with that of other regions of the CFTR gene. The results obtained indicate an accumulation of mutations, not only in regions encoding the two nucleotide binding folds, but also in those encoding transmembrane domains of the CFTR gene, in particular exon 17b.

Hum Mol Genet. 1994 Jan;3(1):57-60., [PMID:7512860]

Abstract [show]
The CFTR gene, in which more than 300 mutations have been described, displays a spectrum of mutations which varies according to ethnic and geographic origin of patients. In this paper we report an exhaustive study of the 27 exons and exon/intron boundaries of a sample of 35 CF patients from Bulgaria which is situated in the south east of Europe. We have used denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis assay followed by DNA sequencing and we report the identification of six previously undescribed CFTR alleles.

Abstract [show]
High-throughput screens for small molecules that are effective in "correcting" the functional expression of F508del-CFTR have yielded several promising hits. Two such compounds are currently in clinical trial. Despite this success, it is clear that further advances will be required in order to restore 50% or greater of wild-type CFTR function to the airways of patients harboring the F508del-CFTR protein. Progress will be enhanced by our better understanding of the molecular and cellular defects caused by the F508del mutation, present in 90% of CF patients. The goal of this chapter is to review the current understanding of defects caused by F508del in the CFTR protein and in CFTR-mediated interactions important for its biosynthesis, trafficking, channel function, and stability at the cell surface. Finally, we will discuss the gaps in our knowledge regarding the mechanism of action of existing correctors, the unmet need to discover compounds which restore proper CFTR structure and function in CF affected tissues and new strategies for therapy development.

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.

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator), leading to folding and processing defects and to chloride channel gating misfunction. CFTR is regulated by ATP binding to its cytoplasmic nucleotide-binding domains, NBD1 and NBD2, and by phosphorylation of the NBD1 regulatory insert (RI) and the regulatory extension (RE)/R region. These regulatory effects are transmitted to the rest of the channel via NBD interactions with intracellular domain coupling helices (CL), particularly CL4. Using a sensitive method for detecting inter-residue correlations between chemical shift changes in NMR spectra, an allosteric network was revealed within NBD1, with a construct lacking RI. The CL4-binding site couples to the RI-deletion site and the C-terminal residues of NBD1 that precede the R region in full-length CFTR. Titration of CL4 peptide into NBD1 perturbs the conformational ensemble in these sites with similar titration patterns observed in F508del, the major CF-causing mutant, and in suppressor mutants F494N, V510D and Q637R NBD1, as well as in a CL4-NBD1 fusion construct. Reciprocally, the C-terminal mutation, Q637R, perturbs dynamics in these three sites. This allosteric network suggests a mechanism synthesizing diverse regulatory NBD1 interactions and provides biophysical evidence for the allosteric coupling required for CFTR function.

Mechanisms of CFTR functional variants that impair regulated bicarbonate permeation and increase risk for pancreatitis but not for cystic fibrosis.
PLoS Genet. 2014 Jul 17;10(7):e1004376. doi: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1004376. eCollection 2014 Jul., [PMID:25033378]

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.

Abstract [show]
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.

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

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

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a distinct type of chronic pancreatitis. To date, the association of CFTR gene variants with AIP has not been studied. METHODS: The entire coding and intronic regions of the CFTR gene were examined using next-generation sequencing in 89 AIP patients. Clinical features, including imaging, histology, serology, steroid treatment response and extra-pancreatic involvement, were compared between AIP patients with and without CFTR gene variants. RESULTS: A total of 28.1% (25/89) of the AIP patients carried 26 CFTR variants, including nine with I556V, seven with 5T, four with S42F, two with I125T, and one each with R31C, R553X, S895N, and G1069R. The presence of CFTR variants and age was independent predictors of the response to steroid treatment, as shown by multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: CFTR variants are associated with AIP. Because AIP patients with CFTR variants show slower and reduced steroid treatment responses, different treatments should be considered in AIP patients with CFTR variants.

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

Abstract [show]
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.

Single-cell high resolution melting analysis: A novel, generic, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) method applied to cystic fibrosis (HRMA CF-PGD).
J Cyst Fibros. 2015 Oct 19. pii: S1569-1993(15)00217-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jcf.2015.09.009., [PMID:26493493]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Institutions offering CF-PGD face the challenge of developing and optimizing single cell genotyping protocols that should cover for the extremely heterogeneous CF mutation spectrum. Here we report the development and successful clinical application of a generic CF-PGD protocol to facilitate direct detection of any CFTR nucleotide variation(s) by HRMA and simultaneous confirmation of diagnosis through haplotype analysis. METHODS: A multiplex PCR was optimized supporting co-amplification of any CFTR exon-region, along with 6 closely linked STRs. Single cell genotypes were established through HRM analysis following melting of the 2nd round PCR products and were confirmed by STR haplotype analysis of the 1st PCR products. The protocol was validated pre-clinically, by testing 208 single lymphocytes, isolated from whole blood samples from 4 validation family trios. Fifteen PGD cycles were performed and 103 embryos were biopsied. RESULTS: In 15 clinical PGD cycles, genotypes were achieved in 88/93 (94.6%) embryo biopsy samples, of which 57/88 (64.8%) were deemed genetically suitable for embryo transfer. Amplification failed at all loci for 10/103 blastomeres biopsied from poor quality embryos. Six clinical pregnancies were achieved (2 twin, 4 singletons). PGD genotypes were confirmed following conventional amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling in all achieved pregnancies. CONCLUSIONS: The single cell HRMA CF-PGD protocol described herein is a flexible, generic, low cost and robust genotyping method, which facilitates the analysis of any CFTR genotype combination. Single-cell HRMA can be beneficial to other clinical settings, for example the detection of single nucleotide variants in single cells derived from clinical tumor samples.
