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

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

A haplotype-based molecular analysis of CFTR mutations associated with respiratory and pancreatic diseases.
Hum Mol Genet. 2003 Sep 15;12(18):2321-32., 2003-09-15 [PMID:12952861]

Abstract [show]
Aberrant membrane transport caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene is associated with a wide spectrum of respiratory and digestive diseases as well as cystic fibrosis. Using a gene scanning method, we found 11 polymorphisms and mutations of the CFTR gene in the Korean population. Individual variants at these sites were analyzed by conventional DNA screening in 117 control and 75 patients having bronchiectasis or chronic pancreatitis. In a haplotype determination based on a Bayesian algorithm, 15 haplotypes were assembled in the 192 individuals tested. Several haplotypes, especially with Q1352H, IVS8 T5, and E217G, were found to have disease associations in a case-control study. Notably, a common polymorphism of M470V appears to affect the intensity of the disease association. Among the two haplotypes having IVS8 T5, the T5-V470 haplotype showed higher disease association than the T5-M470 haplotype. In addition, a Q1352H mutation found in a V470 background showed the strongest disease association. The physiological significances of the identified mutations were rigorously analyzed. Non-synonymous E217G and Q1352H mutations in the M470 background caused a 60-80% reduction in CFTR-dependent Cl(-) currents and HCO3(-) -transport activities. Surprisingly, the additional M470V polymorphic variant with the Q1352H mutation completely abolished CFTR-dependent anion transport activities. These findings provide the first evidence on the importance of CFTR mutations in the Asian population. Importantly, the results also reveal that interactions between multiple genetic variants in cis affect the final function of the gene products.

Improved detection of cystic fibrosis mutations in infertility patients with DNA sequence analysis.
Hum Reprod. 2004 Mar;19(3):540-6. Epub 2004 Jan 29., [PMID:14998948]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Accurate determination of mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene is critical for genetic counselling and treatment of obstructive azoospermia. Of concern is that detection rates with routine CFTR mutation panels vary widely depending on patient ancestry; and such panels have limited value for azoospermic patients, who are more likely to carry rare mutations. An alternative approach offers comprehensive, CFTR mutation analysis by a DNA sequence method. We investigated whether this method could improve CFTR detection rates in men with obstructive azoospermia in a prospective study of men with obstructive azoospermia and their partners who were referred for genetic counselling and testing at one of two institutions. METHODS: Sixteen patients with congenital absence of the vas deferens (CAVD, n = 14) or idiopathic obstructive azoospermia (n = 2) were studied. DNA from all patients was analysed for mutations by the DNA sequence method. In addition to this method, six men underwent CFTR analysis by a common 25 or 31 mutation panel coupled with poly T analysis. In 10 subjects, common mutation panel findings were inferred from DNA sequence method results. RESULTS: Overall, 12/16 (75%) azoospermic patients had one or more CFTR mutations and/or 5T alleles, including 12 mutations in 10 patients (two compound heterozygotes) and seven 5T alleles in six patients (one homozygote). The sequence method detected all mutations and three variants of unknown significance. By comparison, the common mutation panels detected only 3/12 mutations (25%) and 0/3 variants. CONCLUSION: The DNA sequence method detects more CFTR mutations than common mutation panels. Given the serious, clinical consequences of transmitting such mutations, this study underscores the importance of accurate, CFTR mutation detection in men with obstructive azoospermia and their partners.

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.

J Biol Chem. 2006 Feb 10;281(6):3329-34. Epub 2005 Dec 8., 2006-02-10 [PMID:16339147]

Abstract [show]
Efficient endocytosis of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is mediated by a tyrosine-based internalization signal in the CFTR carboxyl-terminal tail 1424YDSI1427. In the present studies, two naturally occurring cystic fibrosis mutations in the amino terminus of CFTR, R31C, and R31L were examined. To determine the defect that these mutations cause, the Arg-31 mutants were expressed in COS-7 cells and their biogenesis and trafficking to the cell surface tested in metabolic pulse-chase and surface biotinylation assays, respectively. The results indicated that both Arg-31 mutants were processed to band C at approximately 50% the efficiency of the wild-type protein. However, once processed and delivered to the cell surface, their half-lives were the same as wild-type protein. Interestingly, indirect immunofluorescence and cell surface biotinylation indicated that the surface pool was much smaller than could be accounted for based on the biogenesis defect alone. Therefore, the Arg-31 mutants were tested in internalization assays and found to be internalized at 2x the rate of the wild-type protein. Patch clamp and 6-methoxy-N-(3-sulfopropyl)quinolinium analysis confirmed reduced amounts of functional Arg-31 channels at the cell surface. Together, the results suggest that both R31C and R31L mutations compromise biogenesis and enhance internalization of CFTR. These two additive effects contribute to the loss of surface expression and the associated defect in chloride conductance that is consistent with a disease phenotype.

Detection of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene rearrangements enriches the mutation spectrum in congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens and impacts on genetic counselling.
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.

Abstract [show]
Mutations in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene have been reported in patients with chronic pancreatitis. The authors examine whether the mutations and haplotypes of CFTR will increase the risk of developing idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) in Chinese and their genotype and phenotype correlations. Seventy-eight patients with ICP and 200 geographically and ethnically matched controls in Taiwan were analyzed. The entire 27 coding and intronic regions of the CFTR gene were identified using heteroduplex analytical techniques and confirmed by sequencing analysis. The presence of 125G/C, 1001+10C>T, IVSTn(TG)m, 1540A>G, c2694T>G, and c4521G>A were determined by directing sequencing. Abnormal CFTR allele was found to be thrice as frequent in ICP patients as in controls (22/156 vs 19/400, p < 0.0001). T5 allele was associated with early onset of ICP. In six-loci haplotype analysis, 13 common haplotypes were assembled in the 278 individuals tested. The 125G/1001+11C/TG12/470M/2694T/4521G haplotype was associated with risk of ICP (odds ratio 11.3; 95% confidence interval 2.3-54.6, p = 0.008) in Chinese. The mutation spectrum is different from other ethnic groups. A population-specific panel of CFTR changes should be recommended for targeted populations including ICP in Chinese. It is important to design suitable screening programs for different populations.

Association of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutation/variant/haplotype and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) promoter polymorphism in hyperlipidemic pancreatitis.
Clin Chem. 2008 Jan;54(1):131-8. Epub 2007 Nov 2., [PMID:17981921]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: The mechanism by which hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) leads to pancreatitis is not clear. We sought to determine whether the genes involved in pancreatic ductal or acinar cell injury, including the cationic trypsinogen gene [protease, serine, 1 (trypsin 1) (PRSS1)], the pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor gene [serine peptidase inhibitor, Kazal type 1 (SPINK1)], the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene [cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (ATP-binding cassette subfamily C, member 7) (CFTR)], and inflammation genes such as tumor necrosis factor [tumor necrosis factor, TNF superfamily, member 2 (TNF)] are associated with hyperlipidemic pancreatitis (HLP) in patients with HTG. METHODS: We performed genetic analysis of 126 HTG patients in Taiwan (46 with HLP and 80 without HLP). The entire coding and intronic regions of the PRSS1, SPINK1, and CFTR genes were identified by heteroduplex analysis techniques and were confirmed by sequencing analysis. The presence of 125G/C, 1001 + 11C>T, 1540A>G (Met470Val), 2694T>G, and 4521G>A in CFTR, the presence of 272C>T in SPINK1, and TNF promoter polymorphisms (nucleotide positions 1031, 863, 857, 308, and 308) were measured by direct sequencing. RESULTS: Of the 126 HTG patients, 13 (10.3%) carried a CFTR mutation. No PRSS1 or SPINK1 mutations were detected in our patients or in HTG controls. The CFTR gene mutation rates in HTG with and without HLP were 26.1% (12 of 46) and 1.3% (1 of 80), respectively (P <0.0001). The CFTR gene mutations were all Ile556Val. A multivariate analysis of HTG patients indicated that triglycerides, CFTR 470Val, and TNF promoter 863A were independent risk markers for HLP. CONCLUSIONS: This genetic study is the first one to address the association of HLP with the CFTR mutation/variant/haplotype and TNF promoter polymorphism in a Chinese HTG population. The results suggest that the occurrence of HLP is multifactorial and polygenic.

Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutation associated with a congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens.
Int J Urol. 2008 Mar;15(3):270-1., [PMID:18304229]

Abstract [show]
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations associated with cystic fibrosis have been reported to be rare in Japanese patients with congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (CBAVD). A 28-year-old Japanese male was referred for infertility. Vas deferens and epididymis were not palpable bilaterally. Semen analyses showed azoospermia with volumes below 2.0 ml. Serum follicle-stimulating hormone value was slightly elevated. Seminal fructose concentration was also very low. Scrotal ultrasonography showed absence of the bodies and tails of the right and left epididymides. Imaging studies showed cystic dysplasia of the right seminal vesicle and agenesis of the left seminal vesicle. A CFTR gene mutation of I556V was found. Recent studies show that prevalence of CFTR gene mutation in Japanese CBAVD patients may be approximately equal to that of the Caucasian population. Genetic counselling may be recommended for any couple attempting assisted reproduction technology when the man has CBAVD.

20 However, a CFTR gene mutation of I556V (exon11, 556A → G) in one allele was detected by genomic DNA extraction from the peripheral blood sample and amplification of exons 10 and 11 in the CFTR gene by polymerase chain reaction, followed by sequence analysis, which was analyzed after obtaining an informed consent. Login to comment
29 In our case, we analyzed exons 10 and 11 in the CFTR gene to evaluate the possibility of transmission of CF to newborn because common mutations such as D508, DI507, 551D, G542X, and R553X associated with CF in Caucasians was frequently identified in these exons.1 I556V found in the present case is a mutation initially reported in a French male who had asthma-like bronchopathy and chronic diarrhea, which was recently identified in 10% to 15% of Asians irrespective of chronic respiratory diseases.7 CBAVD is suggested based on the identification of azoospermia with either normal-sized or slightly smaller testes, a non-palpable vas deferens, characteristic imaging findings and the physical and biological properties of the ejaculate: small volume (<2 mL), low pH (<7), and low fructose concentration.1 Most CBAVD patients have defects in the derivatives of the wolffian duct system presenting as an absence of the distal portion of the epididymides, seminal vesicle atrophy or absence, and the absence of the vas deferens by scrotal and transrectal ultrasonography.4,5,9 However, not all men with CBAVD have extensive abnormalities of the derivatives of the wolffian duct system.5,9 Previous studies showed that seminal vesicle anomalies with either agenesis, hypoplasia, or cystic dysplasia occur in 36% to 92% of men with CBAVD.4-6,9 Jarvi et al. showed that all CBAVD patients with at least one CFTR gene mutation had abnormalities of both the seminal vesicles and ampulla of the vas deferens and that 50% of CBAVD patients with no detectable CFTR gene mutation had a normal ampulla of the vas deferens and seminal vesicles.5 Therefore, the frequency and severity of the wolffian duct malformations in the CBAVD patients may be related directly to the CFTR genotype.5 Moreover, previous studies report that 11% to 21% of CBAVD patients had renal agenesis.6,9 Renal agenesis has been reported to occur predominately in men with a congenital absence of vas deferens (CAVD) without CFTR gene mutations.9 However, Casales et al. showed CFTR gene mutations in five of 16 CAVD patients (bilateral absence in six, and unilateral absence in 10) with renal agenesis.6 In addition, CAVD may also be associated with cryptorchidism and inguinal hernia.6 The prevalence of the CFTR gene mutation carrier in the Japanese population may be approximate to that of the Caucasian.1,2 Moreover, infertile patients with CBAVD can now be treated by assisted reproduction technology.1 Genetic counseling may be recommended for any couple attempting assisted reproduction technology when the man has defects of the vas deferens.1-3,8 References 1 Jarzabek K, Zbucka M, Pepiñski W et al.

Genetic aspects of pancreatitis.
Annu Rev Med. 2010;61:413-24., [PMID:20059346]

Abstract [show]
Acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis are complex inflammatory disorders of the pancreas with unpredictable severity, complications, and clinical courses. Growing evidence for genetic risk and modifying factors, plus strong evidence that only a minority of patients with these disorders are heavy alcohol drinkers, has revolutionized our concept of these diseases. Once considered a self-inflicted injury, pancreatitis is now recognized as a complex inflammatory condition like inflammatory bowel disease. Genetic linkage and candidate gene studies have identified six pancreas-targeting factors that are associated with changes in susceptibility to acute and/or chronic pancreatitis, including cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1), anionic trypsinogen (PRSS2), serine protease inhibitor Kazal 1 (SPINK1), cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), chymotrypsinogen C (CTRC) and calcium-sensing receptor (CASR). Patients with mutations in these genes are at increased risk of pancreatitis caused by a variety of stresses including hyperlipidemia and hypercalcemia. Multiple studies are reporting new polymorphisms, as well as complex gene x gene and gene x environmental interactions.

Distribution of CFTR variations in an Indonesian enteric fever cohort.
Clin Infect Dis. 2010 May 1;50(9):1231-7., 2010-05-01 [PMID:20233062]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Enteric fever is defined by circulating Salmonella serotype Typhi or Paratyphi in the blood. The first step in developing enteric fever is internalization of salmonellae in the gut epithelium. In in vitro experiments, attachment of S. Typhi to the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) on the intestinal mucosa is crucial for bacterial uptake. We recently found a microsatellite polymorphism in the CFTR gene, IVS8CA, to be associated with susceptibility to enteric fever in a case-control study in Indonesia. METHODS: To determine which functional variation in CFTR is associated with susceptibility to enteric fever, we sequenced all 27 exons of the CFTR gene in 25 individuals from Indonesia. Polymorphisms that occurred more than once were genotyped in the full enteric fever cohort of 116 case patients and 322 control subjects. RESULTS: We identified 12 variants in, or adjacent to, the exons: 1 novel variant (L435V), 3 known mutations (N287K, I556V, Q1352H), and 8 known polymorphisms. Variations that occurred more than once were genotyped in the full cohort. The IVS8 TG(11)TG(12) genotype appears to provide some protection from acquiring enteric fever: having this protective genotype or a variation that is known to affect CFTR protein expression provides modest protection from enteric fever (odds ratio, 0.57; 95% confidence interval, 0.37-0.87; P<.01). CONCLUSIONS: The findings demonstrate that a correlation exists between variations in the CFTR gene and protection from enteric fever. The IVS8CA polymorphism that was identified previously may, however, be the principal functional variation causing the difference in susceptibility.

Association between cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene mutations and susceptibility for childhood asthma in Korea.
Yonsei Med J. 2010 Nov;51(6):912-7., [PMID:20879059]

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: Classic cystic fibrosis is now known part of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-related disorders. These include a wide spectrum, from multi-system disorders, such as cystic fibrosis, to mono-symptomatic conditions, such as chronic pancreatitis or congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens. However, respiratory disease is considered typical for the multi system disorder, cystic fibrosis, and is the major cause of morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential effects of CFTR gene mutations in Korean children with asthma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We selected 14 mutations identified in Korea and each of the 48 children with and without asthma were genotyped for the case-control study. RESULTS: No significant differences were found in genotype and allele frequencies of the 9 polymorphisms observed between the non-asthma and asthma groups. In a haplotype determination based on a Bayesian algorithm, 8 haplotypes were assembled in the 98 individuals tested. However, we also did not find any significant differences in haplotype frequencies between the non-asthma and asthma groups. CONCLUSION: We have concluded that this study did not show any evidence in support of providing that CFTR genetic variations significantly contribute to the susceptibility of asthma in Korean children.

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Genetic testing of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance (CFTR) gene is currently performed in patients with congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (CBAVD). This study was conducted to investigate the role of mutations in the CFTR gene in CBAVD-dependent male infertility. METHODS: 73 Chinese patients diagnosed with CBAVD were studied. The entire coding regions and splice sites of 27 exons of the CFTR gene were sequenced in 146 chromosomes from the 73 CBAVD patients. Screening was carried out using PCR, gel electrophoresis and DNA sequencing to identify novel variants of the entire coding regions and boundaries of the 27 exons. RESULTS: Five novel nonsynonymous mutations, three novel splice site mutations and one deletion were identified by sequencing. Apart from the novel variants, we also found 19 previously reported mutations and polymorphism sites. Thirty-four patients (46.57%) had the 5T variant (6 homozygous and 28 heterozygous) and in two of them it was not associated with any detectable mutation of the CFTR gene. All potential pathogenic mutations are not contained in the 1000 Genome Project database. In total, the present study identified 30 potential pathogenic variations in the CFTR gene, 9 of which had not previously been described. CONCLUSIONS: Most patients with CBAVD have mutations in the CFTR gene. A mild genotype with one or two mild or variable mutations was observed in all the patients. These findings improve our understanding of the distribution of CFTR alleles in CBAVD patients and will facilitate the development of more sensitive CFTR mutation screening.

Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations in Asians with chronic pulmonary disease: a pilot study.
J Cyst Fibros. 2006 Aug;5(3):159-64. Epub 2006 Mar 6., [PMID:16678503]

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the relationship between cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations in Asian patients and severe asthma or idiopathic bronchiectasis. We investigated this potential relationship in the Singaporean Chinese. METHODS: Twenty patients with chronic pulmonary disease, 14 with severe asthma and 6 with idiopathic bronchiectasis, were screened for CFTR mutations by direct gene sequencing. The frequencies of identified putative mutations were compared against 40 unaffected controls and 96 unselected population samples. RESULTS: Three missense mutations (I125T, I556V, and Q1352H) and 1 splice site variant (intron 8 12TG5T) were identified in a total of 10 patients, representing a combined mutant/variant allele frequency of 0.25. These alleles were also observed in the controls, but at a significantly lower allele frequency of 0.09 (P<0.01). Furthermore, the I125T mutation was significantly associated with the idiopathic bronchiectasis sub-group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The significantly higher frequency of CFTR mutations among patients with chronic pulmonary disease compared with unaffected controls suggests that these mutations may increase risk for disease. The association of I125T with idiopathic bronchiectasis alone suggests that different mutations predispose to different disease.

PGD for cystic fibrosis patients and couples at risk of an additional genetic disorder combined with 24-chromosome aneuploidy testing.
Reprod Biomed Online. 2013 May;26(5):420-30. doi: 10.1016/j.rbmo.2013.01.006. Epub 2013 Jan 29., [PMID:23523379]

Abstract [show]
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for inherited disorders is presently applied for more than 300 different conditions. The most frequent PGD indication is cystic fibrosis (CF), the largest series of which is reviewed here, totalling 404 PGD cycles. This involved testing for 52 different CFTR mutations with almost half of the cases (195/404 cycles) performed for DeltaF508 mutation, one-quarter (103/404 cycles) for six other frequent mutations and only a few for the remaining 45 CFTR mutations. There were 44 PGD cycles performed for 25 CF-affected homozygous or double-heterozygous CF patients (18 male and seven female partners), which involved testing simultaneously for three mutations, resulting in birth of 13 healthy CF-free children and no misdiagnosis. PGD was also performed for six couples at a combined risk of producing offspring with CF and another genetic disorder. Concomitant testing for CFTR and other mutations resulted in birth of six healthy children, free of both CF and another genetic disorder in all but one cycle. A total of 96 PGD cycles for CF were performed with simultaneous aneuploidy testing, including microarray-based 24-chromosome analysis, as a comprehensive PGD for two or more conditions in the same biopsy material.

Abstract [show]
California uses a unique method to screen newborns for cystic fibrosis (CF) that includes gene scanning and DNA sequencing after only one California-40 cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) panel mutation has been identified in hypertrypsinogenemic specimens. Newborns found by sequencing to have one or more additional mutations or variants (including novel variants) in the CFTR gene are systematically followed, allowing for prospective assessment of the pathogenic potential of these variants. During the first 3 years of screening, 55 novel variants were identified. Six of these novel variants were discovered in five screen-negative participants and three were identified in multiple unrelated participants. Ten novel variants (c.2554_2555insT, p.F1107L, c.-152G>C, p.L323P, p.L32M, c.2883_2886dupGTCA, c.2349_2350insT, p.K114del, c.-602A>T, and c.2822delT) were associated with a CF phenotype (42% of participants were diagnosed at 4 to 25 months of age), whereas 26 were associated with CFTR-related metabolic syndrome to date. Associations with the remaining novel variants were confounded by the presence of other diseases or other mutations in cis or by inadequate follow-up. These findings have implications for how CF newborn screening and follow-up is conducted and will help guide which genotypes should, and which should not, be considered screen positive for CF in California and elsewhere.

Abstract [show]
OBJECTIVE: To investigate cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene in Chinese men with congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (CBAVD) and other obstructive azoospermia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four hundred one patients with obstructive azoospermia were included. Patients were grouped as 158 with CBAVD and 243 with other acquired obstructive azoospermia. Another 200 fertile men were used as controls. Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid was isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes for all men. The exon 10 and 11 CFTR genes were amplified and sequenced. The frequency of CFTR gene mutations was compared among 3 groups. RESULTS: Six heterozygous mutations (+/-), I556V, M469V, E527N, F508del, S485C, and I558S, were found in 30 patients, and 1 homozygous mutation (+/+), I556V, was found in 1 patient. The overall frequency of CFTR mutations was 31 of 401 (7.7%). Of these mutations, I556V was the most common type with 24 of 31 (77.4%). In CBAVD group, 20 of 158 patients were identified with 6 different heterozygous mutations (I556V, M469V, E527N, F508del, S485C, and I558S) and 1 homozygous mutation (I556V). The rate of CFTR mutations was 12.7%. In acquired obstructive group, 11 of 243 patients were identified with 2 different heterozygous mutations, I556V and M469V; the rate of mutations was 4.5%. No CFTR mutations were identified in controls. There was significant difference among 3 groups (P = .000). The frequency of CFTR mutations in CBAVD is 2-fold higher than in other acquired obstructive group. CONCLUSION: Different CFTR mutations are observed in Chinese patients with CBAVD. I556V is the major common type of CFTR mutations in Chinese patients with CBAVD.

72 Of these mutations, approximately 24 of 31 (77.4%) mutations were I556V, including 23 of heterozygous mutations and 1 of homozygous mutation. Login to comment
75 I556V, other than F508del, might be the major mutation in Chinese patients. Login to comment
76 Besides 1 I556V homozygous mutation observed, all other mutations were heterozygous mutations; they might be in correspondence with the clinical feature in these patients with CBAVD, which had no other CF syndrome such as lung or pancreatic diseases. Login to comment
79 Such mutations would produce abnormally low levels of CFTR protein, which may cause obstruction of the vas deferens, but there may be sufficient protein to prevent from disease in other organs normally affected by CF.18 I556V found in the present cases is a mutation initially reported in a French man who had asthma-like bronchopathy and chronic diarrhea, which was recently identified in 10%-15% of Asians irrespective of chronic respiratory diseases.19 Because the I556V and M469V heterozygous mutations were all founded in CBAVD and obstructive azoospermia groups, they might not be special mutations for CBAVD.

Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, responsible for the development of cystic fibrosis, is known as a pancreatitis susceptibility gene. Direct DNA sequencing of PCR-amplified CFTR gene segments is a first-line method to detect unknown mutations, but it is a tedious and labor-intensive endeavor given the large size of the gene (27 exons, 1,480 amino acids). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is becoming standardized, reducing the cost of DNA sequencing, and enabling the generation of millions of reads per run. We here report a comprehensive analysis of CFTR variants in Japanese patients with chronic pancreatitis using NGS coupling with target capture. METHODS: Exon sequences of the CFTR gene from 193 patients with chronic pancreatitis (121 idiopathic, 46 alcoholic, 17 hereditary, and nine familial) were captured by HaloPlex target enrichment technology, followed by NGS. RESULTS: The sequencing data covered 91.6 % of the coding regions of the CFTR gene by >/= 20 reads with a mean read depth of 449. We could identify 12 non-synonymous variants including three novel ones [c.A1231G (p.K411E), c.1753G>T (p.E585X) and c.2869delC (p.L957fs)] and seven synonymous variants including three novel ones in the exonic regions. The frequencies of the c.4056G>C (p.Q1352H) and the c.3468G>T (p.L1156F) variants were higher in patients with chronic pancreatitis than those in controls. CONCLUSIONS: Target sequence capture combined with NGS is an effective method for the analysis of pancreatitis susceptibility genes.

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]
Although cystic fibrosis is rare in Japanese, measurement of sweat Cl(-) has suggested mild dysfunction of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in some patients with chronic pancreatitis. In the present study, we have investigated the association of CFTR variants and chronic pancreatitis in Japanese and the functional characteristics of a Japanese- and pancreatitis-specific CFTR variant, L1156F. Seventy patients with alcoholic chronic pancreatitis, 18 patients with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis, and 180 normal subjects participated. All exons and their boundaries and promoter region of the CFTR gene were sequenced. Human embryonic kidney-293 cells were transfected with three CFTR variants (M470V, L1156F, and M470V+L1156F), and the protein expression was examined. Xenopus laevis oocytes were injected with the CFTR variants, and bicarbonate (HCO3 (-)) transport activity was examined. CFPAC-1 cells were transfected with the CFTR variants and Cl(-)/HCO3 (-) exchange activity was examined. Six variants (E217G, I556V, M470V, L1156F, Q1352H, and R1453W) were identified in the coding region of the CFTR gene. Cystic fibrosis-causing mutations were not found. The allele frequencies of L1156F and Q1352H in alcoholic chronic pancreatitis (5.0 and 7.9%) were significantly (P < 0.01) higher than those in normal subjects (0.6 and 1.9%). L1156F was linked with a worldwide CFTR variant, M470V. Combination of M470V and L1156F significantly reduced CFTR expression to approximately 60%, impaired CFTR-mediated HCO3 (-)/Cl(-) transport activity to 50-60%, and impaired CFTR-coupled Cl(-)/HCO3 (-) exchange activity to 20-30%. The data suggest that the Japanese-specific CFTR variant L1156F causes mild dysfunction of CFTR and increases the risk of alcoholic chronic pancreatitis in Japanese.
