Is CFTR p.Phe342= (c.1026C>T) pathogenic?

CFTR p.Phe342= (c.1026C>T) is classified Likely benign in CFTR (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2024-09-01). Very rare (popmax 0.00133%, afr); Associated with cystic fibrosis.

What condition is associated with CFTR p.Phe342= (c.1026C>T)?

CFTR p.Phe342= (c.1026C>T) is associated with cystic fibrosis (ClinVar).

How common is CFTR p.Phe342= (c.1026C>T) in the general population?

CFTR p.Phe342= (c.1026C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00133%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Cystic fibrosis inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
