GeneDx RCV000725285 SCV000568548 uncertain significance not provided 2016-11-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The V201M variant in the CFTR gene has been reported previously as heterozygous in one child diagnosed with CF; no other variants in the CFTR gene were identified (Bernardino et al., 2000). The V201M variant was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The V201M variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Valine are tolerated across species. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Pathogenic missense variants in nearby residues (H199Y, P205S) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with CF (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. We interpret V201M as a variant of uncertain significance.
ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000725285 SCV000602985 uncertain significance not provided 2022-07-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The CFTR c.601G>A; p.Val201Met variant (rs138338446) has been identified without an additional pathogenic variant in an individual with a clinical diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF), individuals with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) (Bernardino 2000, Gallati 2009, Luo 2021, Steiner 2011, Wu 2005), and in one individual with CBAVD who also carried a severe pathogenic variant (Steiner 2011). However, this variant is most often identified in individuals with atypical CF as part of a complex variant on the same allele as other variants (Behar 2017, Brugnon 2008, Claustres 2004, Masson 2013, Steiner 2011, Terlizzi 2017). This variant is reported as an uncertain variant in ClinVar (Variation ID: 54022), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.02% (61/282812 alleles, including a single homozygote) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The valine at this position is moderately conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.676). Considering available information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty. References: Behar DM et al.

Ambry Genetics RCV000666392 SCV001186900 uncertain significance Cystic fibrosis 2023-03-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.V201M variant (also known as c.601G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the CFTR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 601. The valine at codon 201 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was identified in isolation in a child with mild pulmonary disease, pancreatic sufficiency, and elevated; however, a second alteration was not identified (Bernardino AL et al. Genet. Test., 2000;4:69-74). In a child with a positive newborn screen, elevated sweat chloride levels, and steatorrhea, this variant was identified in conjunction with p.G542*; however, phase was not provided (Mota LR et al. Mol. Biol. Rep., 2018 Sep;45(6):2045–51). It was also identified in isolation in men with congenital absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD), including in one male who was also heterozygous for p.F508del; however, the phase was not confirmed (Danziger KL et al. Hum. Reprod., 2004 Mar;19:540-6; Wu CC et al. Hum. Reprod., 2005 Sep;20:2470-5;Steiner B et al. Hum. Mutat., 2011 Aug;32:912-20). In addition, this variant has also been observed as part of the complex allele p.[R74W;V201M;D1270N] (de Prada Merino A et al. J. Cyst. Fibros., 2010 Dec;9:447-9). The complex allele has been identified in the homozygous state and in trans with a pathogenic mutation in CFTR in individuals with CBAVD (Steiner B et al. Hum. Mutat., 2011 Aug;32:912-20). In one report, two young boys carried the complex allele in trans with p.F508del and were asymptomatic; however, CBAVD was not ruled out (Brugnon F et al. Fertil. Steril., 2008 Nov;90:2004.e23-6). Functional analysis of this variant in CFBE cells demonstrated 48% activity compared to wild type (Raraigh KS et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2018 06;102:1062-1077). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on available evidence to date, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000381189 SCV001362675 uncertain significance not specified 2023-10-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: CFTR c.601G>A (p.Val201Met) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the ABC transporter type 1, transmembrane domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00023 in 253560 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CFTR causing Non-Classic Cystic Fibrosis (0.00023 vs 0.013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.601G>A has been widely reported in the literature in sequencing studies among individuals affected with Non-classic Cystic Fibrosis, mainly CBAVD and mild CF phenotypes such as increased immunoreactive trypsin (IRT) and intermediate sweat chloride levels in settings of neonatal screening (example Bernarrdino_2000, Danziger_2004, Wu_2005, Gallati_2009, Tropel_2010, Steiner_2011, Boudaya_2012, Ribero Mota_2018, Chamayou_2020). These data do not allow unequivocal conclusions about variant significance in isolation although the complex allele comprising this variant in cis with c.220C>T (p.Arg74Trp) and c.3808G>A (p.Asp1270Asn) is considered a common disease causing variant combination. These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. At least one recent publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in 48% of normal activity in an assay measuring CFTR Function by short-circuit chloride current measurements (Raraigh_2018). The authors report a CFTR2 database classification of this variant in isolation as "indeterminate". 15 clinical diagnostic laboratories and an expert panel (CFTR2 database) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Majority of the submitters have classified the variant as uncertain significance citing overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation (VUS, n=14, Pathogenic, n=1). Based on the clinical and functional evidence outlined above, the variant in isolation was classified as a bonafide VUS-possibly pathogenic.

Invitae RCV000666392 SCV001592096 pathogenic Cystic fibrosis 2024-01-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 201 of the CFTR protein (p.Val201Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs138338446, gnomAD 0.07%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cystic fibrosis or congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (PMID: 15287992, 16963320, 19897426, 21520337, 21658649, 25910067, 27738188, 30232781; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 54022). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CFTR protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CFTR function (PMID: 21708286, 27738188). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
