CF databases:	c.1081T>A , p.Trp361Arg (CFTR1) D , This mutation corresponds to a T to A substitution in exon 7. A similar mutation had been previously identified by Bienvenu et al. but the nucleotide change was T-C (Newsletter#56). c.1081T>C , p.Trp361Arg (CFTR1) ? , This mutation was found in one French female patient with CF. This mutation was detected by DGGE using chemical clamps and identified by direct sequencing : W361R (T->C at 1213). This mutation has been found in one among 50 non-[delta]F508 CF chromosomes. This mutation can easily be detected by restriction enzyme digestion as it destroys an NIaIII site. The patient was sufficient pancreatic, presented a pulmonary form and died at the age of 44 years. Furthermore, this patient has also the new splicing mutation 297-3C->T on the other chromosome.

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

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

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.

Spectrum of CFTR mutations in cystic fibrosis and in congenital absence of the vas deferens in France.

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.

Genotype-phenotype relationships in a cohort of adult cystic fibrosis patients.
Eur Respir J. 1996 Nov;9(11):2207-14., [PMID:8947061]

Abstract [show]
In cystic fibrosis (CF), relationships between genotype and phenotype have been shown for pancreatic status but not for pulmonary disease. One hundred and ten adult CF patients were classified according to the expected effect of their mutations on cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein: Group 1 (n=48) included deltaF508 homozygotes; Group 2 (n=26), patients with two "severe" mutations and no expected CFTR production; Group 3 (n=17), patients with expected partly functional CFTR corresponding to at least one "mild" mutation; Group 4 (n=19), patients with no mutation identified or only one identified "severe" mutation. As compared to Groups 1 and 2: patients from Groups 3 and 4 had higher arterial oxygen tension (Pa,O2) (9.5+/-1.9 and 9.9+/-1.5 vs 8.8+/-1.5 and 8.3+/-1.7 kPa, respectively p<0.02); and a slower decline in their pulmonary function, estimated by the mean annual loss in forced vital capacity (FVC) (1.2+/-1.0 and 1.5+/-1.1 vs 2.0+/-0.9 and 2.2+/-1.0%, respectively; p<0.01) and in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) (1.7+/-1.1 and 1.9+/-1.3 vs 2.6+/-1.0 and 2.8+/-1.0%, respectively; p<0.005). They had fewer episodes of colonization of the airways by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and colonization occurred at a more advanced age (median age 25 and 19 vs 15 and 17 yrs, respectively; p<0.01) and required fewer intravenous antibiotic courses (p<0.01). Pancreatic insufficiency was less frequent in Groups 3 (23%) and 4 (63%) than in Groups 1 (100%) and 2 (96%). This study suggests that the phenotype of adult cystic fibrosis patients, including the severity of the lung disease, is related to the severity of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator mutations.

Mutation analysis of ten exons of the CFTR gene in Greek cystic fibrosis patients: characterization of 74.5% of CF alleles including one novel mutation.
Hum Genet. 1995 Sep;96(3):364-6., [PMID:7544320]

Abstract [show]
To initiate the complete characterization of mutations in the CFTR gene in Greek cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, we screened 184 patients for six relatively common mutations (delta F 508, G542X, G551D, 621 + 1 G-->T, N1303K, W1282X) using allele-specific hybridization and, in addition, analyzed exons 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 17b, 19, 20 and 21 using the method of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Six mutations accounted for 65.9% of the CF alleles in Greek patients, of which the delta F 508 mutation had a frequency of 52.7%. A further 15 previously described mutations accounted for another 8.3% CF alleles and one previously undescribed mutation (3272-4A-->G) was found in one chromosome. The W1282X mutation was not detected at all. Thus, so far, we have identified 21 mutations in the CFTR gene in Greek CF patients, accounting for 74.5% of the CF alleles.

Unexpected inactivation of acceptor consensus splice sequence by a -3 C to T transition in intron 2 of the CFTR gene.
Hum Genet. 1994 Jul;94(1):65-8., [PMID:7518409]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR). Analysis of DNA from a pancreatic sufficient patient by means of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and subsequent DNA sequencing led to the identification of a novel potential splice mutation and a novel missense mutation in the CFTR gene. One C to T substitution (297-3C-->T) was found at the splice acceptor site of intron 2 and a T to C substitution at 1213 was found in exon 7. To determine the effect of the potential splicing mutation on the patient's CFTR transcripts and by taking advantage of the "illegitimate" transcription phenomenon, RNA from EBV-lymphoblastoid cells was reverse transcribed and amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Direct sequencing of the PCR product revealed that the transcript from the chromosome with the 297-3C-->T mutation exhibited the skipping of exon 3.

12 Using this method for exon 3 and 7, we have identified a novel splice mutation at the 3" end of intron 2 (297- 3C---~T) and a novel missense mutation in exon 7 (W361R) (T--~C at 1213). Login to comment
43 Direct sequencing of these PCR products showed two novel mutations, a missense mutation in exon 7 named W361R (T--~C at 1213)(Fig. 2b) and a potential splicing mutation 297-3C-~T in intron 2 (Fig. 1 B). Login to comment

Abstract [show]
Expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is altered in individuals with the DeltaF508 CFTR mutation. We previously reported differential expression of microRNA (miRNA) in CF airway epithelium; however, the role of miRNA in regulation of CFTR expression here remains unexplored. In this study, we investigated the role of upregulated miRNAs in CFTR regulation in vivo in bronchial brushings from individuals homozygous or heterozygous for DeltaF508 CFTR, validated our observations in vitro, and assessed the impact of defective chloride ion conductance, genotype, and colonization status on miRNA expression. miRNA target prediction was performed in silico, and expression of miRNA and target genes were measured by quantitative real-time PCR and/or Western blotting. Overexpression and inhibition studies were performed with pre-miRs or antimiRs, respectively, and a luciferase reporter gene was used to elucidate direct miRNA-target interactions. miR-145, miR-223, and miR-494 were upregulated in CF versus non-CF bronchial brushings and cell lines; in DeltaF508 CFTR homozygotes versus heterozygotes; in subjects positive for P. aeruginosa; and in cells treated with a CFTR inhibitor or IL-1beta. Reciprocal downregulation or upregulation of CFTR gene and/or protein expression was observed after miRNA manipulation and direct miRNA-target relationships demonstrated via a reporter system containing a wild type or mutated full-length CFTR 3' untranslated region. Increased expression of miR-145, miR-223, and miR-494 in vivo in bronchial epithelium of individuals carrying the DeltaF508 CFTR mutation correlates with decreased CFTR expression. Defective CFTR function, Pseudomonas colonization, and inflammation may affect miRNA expression and contribute to the regulation of DeltaF508 CFTR.
