This variant is present in population databases (rs199826652, gnomAD 1.2%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis and is the most common cause of the condition (PMID: 2475911, 15371902, 23974870). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as ∆F508. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7105). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects CFTR function (PMID: 2475911, 23974870). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000007523 SCV000221179 pathogenic Cystic fibrosis 2022-11-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Phe508del variant in CFTR (also known as ΔF508) is a deletion of a single amino acid at position 508 and is well-established as a pathogenic variant for autosomal recessive cystic fibrosis (Kerem 1989 PMID:2570460, Fuller 1992 PMID:1381146, Southern 1997 PMID:9135274, Grody 2001 PMID:11280952, Sosnay 2013 PMID:23974870). This is the most common pathogenic variant reported in CFTR and has been classified as Pathogenic by the ACMG practice guideline for cystic fibrosis carrier screening and the ClinGen-approved CFTR2 expert panel (ClinVar Variation ID 7105). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive cystic fibrosis. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_Very Strong, PP1_Strong, PS3, PM4_Supporting.
GeneDx RCV000058929 SCV000329246 pathogenic not provided 2018-07-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.1521_1523delCTT pathogenic variant in the CFTR gene (also known as p.Phe508del or delta F508) is the most common variant identified in the CFTR gene, with up to 90% of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) having at least one copy of the c.1521_1523delCTT variant (Cai et al., 2011). The c.1521_1523delCTT variant results in an in-frame deletion of a single Phenylalanine residue at codon 508. Individuals who are homozygous for the c.1521_1523delCTT variant demonstrate the classic features of CF, whereas individuals compound heterozygous for the c.1521_1523delCTT variant and another CFTR variant may have a modified disease phenotype (Ong et al., 2017). Heterozygous carriers of the c.1521_1523delCTT variant are usually asymptomatic, however, may be at increased risk for developing a CFTR-related disorder, as an increased prevalence of single CFTR pathogenic variants has been observed among individuals with chronic pulmonary conditions, CAVD and pancreatitis (Cuppens et al., 2004; Bombieri et al., 2011). We interpret the c.1521_1523delCTT variant as a pathogenic variant.

Knight Diagnostic Laboratories, Oregon Health and Sciences University RCV000007523 SCV000538017 pathogenic Cystic fibrosis 2016-03-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.1521_1523delCTT (p.Phe508del), also known as ΔF508, is an in-frame deletion in the CFTR gene. This variant is the most common CF-causing mutation, accounting for an estimated 72% of mutant alleles in people of European ancestry (Watson et al., 2004). This p.Phe508del variant is classified as a class II mutation that blocks the processing of the CFTR protein (Welsh et al., 2001). This variant has been reported at low frequencies (1.0%) in 1000 Genomes and ExAc population databases, but has not been reported in the Exome Sequencing Project database (ESP). The CFTR2 database has 32,833 patients that have this mutation, which they classify as CF-causing (http://www.cftr2.org/mutation.php?view=general&mutation_id=1). Therefore, this collective evidence supports the classification of the c.1521_1523delCTT (p.Phe508del) as a recessive pathogenic variant for Cystic fibrosis.

Ambry Genetics RCV000007523 SCV000741228 pathogenic Cystic fibrosis 2023-03-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.1521_1523delCTT (p.F508del) alteration is located in coding exon 11 of the CFTR gene, results from an in-frame CTT deletion at nucleotide positions 1521 to 1523. This results in the deletion of a phenylalanine residue at codon 508. Based on data from gnomAD, the c.1521_1523delCTT allele has an overall frequency of 0.717% (2027/282630) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 1.238% (1598/129034) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This mutation accounts for approximately 70% of cystic fibrosis chromosomes worldwide and is associated with elevated sweat chloride levels, lung disease, pancreatic insufficiency, and Pseudomonas infection (Sosnay, 2013). Disease expression is variable, even among individuals homozygous for p.F508del (Bronsveld, 2001). In vitro functional studies showed this mutation results in significantly reduced chloride conductance (Sosnay, 2013). It is a class II mutation which results in a misfolded CFTR protein that is subsequently degraded (Esposito, 2016). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.

Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM RCV000007523 SCV004101520 pathogenic Cystic fibrosis criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The observed inframe deletion c.1521_1523del (p.Phe508del) variant in the CFTR gene has been reported previously in both homozygous and compound heterozygous states in multiple individuals affected with cystic fibrosis (Sosnay et al., 2013; Terlizzi et al., 2021). Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects CFTR function (Zeiher et al. 1995). The p.Phe508del variant is reported with an allele frequency of 0.7% in the gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic (multiple submissions). This p.Phe508del causes deletion of amino acid Phenylalanine at position 508. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

This is a previously reported (ClinVar 7105), well characterized variant (PMID: 15371902) that is the most common cystic fibrosis-associated variant in the general population (PMID: 23974870). The variant is also known as deltaF508 and similar identifiers in the literature and public databases. This variant is present in 2976 of 403344 alleles (0.7378%) in the gnomAD population dataset. Experimental evidence shows that function of the variant protein is significantly inhibited (PMID: 2475911). Based upon the evidence, we consider this variant to be pathogenic.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV000058929 SCV001553614 pathogenic not provided no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The CFTR p.F508del variant is the most common variant known to cause cystic fibrosis (CF); this variant acounts for ~70% of CFTR variants and is present in approximately 85% of CF patients worldwide (Maiuri_2015_PMID:26046070). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs113993960) and ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, Laboratory for Molecular Medicine and 20+ other laboratories). The variant was identified in control databases in 2027 of 282630 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.007172 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: European (non-Finnish) in 1598 of 129034 chromosomes (freq: 0.01238), Other in 49 of 7214 chromosomes (freq: 0.006792), Ashkenazi Jewish in 58 of 10368 chromosomes (freq: 0.005594), Latino in 135 of 35426 chromosomes (freq: 0.003811), African in 65 of 24958 chromosomes (freq: 0.002604), European (Finnish) in 61 of 25074 chromosomes (freq: 0.002433) and South Asian in 61 of 30608 chromosomes (freq: 0.001993), but was not observed in the East Asian population. This variant is an in-frame deletion resulting in the removal of a phenylalanine (F) residue at codon 508; the deletion of p.F508 results in a misfolded mutant protein that is prematurely degraded before it reaches the plasma membrane (Maiuri_2015_PMID:26046070). In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
