The c.350G>A (p.Arg117His, R117H) mutation, though initially described in CF patients,5 has been considered predominantly associated with CBAVD.6-9 Phenotypic variability was mostly attributed to the presence of a polymorphic intronic polyT variant, c.1210-12T(5) or T(7) in cis with p.Arg117His (ie, T5 or T7 on the same chromosome as p.Arg117His).

Epidemiological data from a large collaborative French survey on this mutation have already identified very low penetrance of classical CF in individuals carrying p.Arg117His in cis with T7 and the most frequent CF mutation, c.1521_1523del (p.Phe508del, F508del), with penetrance estimated at 0.03%.13 The aim of the present study was to focus on and detail phenotype and genotype data in CBAVD patients who carried two CFTR mutations with p.Arg117His on at least one allele, and to document the outcomes of assisted reproduction techniques (ART), and prenatal and preimplantation diagnoses (PND and PGD) for the couples, with a view to improving practices for follow-up and genetic counselling.

They are healthy so far. DISCUSSION We have recently shown that the penetrance of classical CF in individuals carrying p.Arg117His on a T7 background and p. Phe508del is very low, at 0.03%, and that only 3.1% of individuals expected to carry this genotype have come to clinical attention and been tested for CFTR mutations.13 The objective of the present study was to describe the overall phenotype Table 2 Fertility data in the 40 couples followed in assisted medical reproduction centres with available data n Per puncture Per fresh transfer Mean Std Mean Std Injected ovocytes 738 8.4 4.7 Fertilised ovocytes 426 4.5 4.5 Embryos 361 4.2 4.2 Fertilisation rate* - 51% 29% Fresh cycle outcomes Punctures with fresh transfers 78 85% 36% Transferred embryos 143 1.6 1.0 Clinical pregnancy rate 26 29% 45% 34% 48% Miscarriage rateߤ 5 6% 25% Delivery rate 19 22% 42% 26% 44% Frozen embryos 82 0.9 1.9 *Fertilisation rate=number of embryos/number of ovocytes injected.

Indeed, p.Arg117His was shown to be the third most frequent mutation found in French CBAVD patients.8 9 The frequency of the T5 variant in cis with p.Arg117His was much lower in France than that reported in Australian and UK populations,10 11 thus preventing any correlation between phenotype and polyT variation in the present study.

As nearly 90% of patients carried a CF mutation in trans of p.Arg117His, it is hypothesized that compound heterozygosity for p.Arg117His on a T7 background and another mild mutation would predominantly be associated with no obvious CFTR disease.13 An overall mild phenotype with predominant CBAVD in males and a low penetrance in females We present the genotypes and phenotypes of 166/179 individuals carrying two CFTR mutations with p.Arg117His on at least one allele, which is the largest cohort described to date.

Late presentation of CF has previously been reported in the literature, in two males at 61 and 64 years of age, carrying p.Arg117His in cis with T7 and presenting with infertility and severe bronchiectasis.16 Thus, a complete initial evaluation and regular follow-up should be proposed in CBAVD patients, who might develop pulmonary symptoms a long time after the genetic analysis requested for assisted reproduction purposes.

Nevertheless, given that CBAVD is the most frequent symptom observed in our cohort, we suggest that male individuals carrying p.Arg117His in combination with another CFTR mutation and referred for a family study, or respiratory or pancreatic symptoms be offered fertility investigations in an ART clinic, according to the clinical context and the patients` wishes.

Based on the recent reclassification of p. Arg117His in cis with T7 as a CFTR-RD mutation, it should not be considered for either cascade testing in relatives, or for a risk of classical CF in offspring. Login to comment

Because of the increased risk of obtaining embryos carrying two CF-causing mutations, it could be discussed to implant embryos with a CFTR-RD genotype in a PGD process, as was the case for two couples in our series who associated p. Arg117His and a CF mutation. Login to comment

In conclusion, our results indicate the need for a complete initial clinical evaluation in patients with at least one p. Arg117His mutation, especially in CBAVD patients who may be free of respiratory symptoms at the time of the genetic analysis requested for assisted reproduction purposes, and for appropriate genetic counselling.
