Mutation Details for c.137C>A

cDNA Name c.137C>A 
Protein Name p.Ala46Asp 
Exon or Intron exon 2 
Legacy Exon or Intron exon 2 
Legacy Name A46D 
Other Details A novel missense mutation was identified by DGGE in exon 2 of the CFTR gene and confirmed by direct sequencing of assymetric PCR template and by ASO hybridization. The nucleotide change C->A at position 269 leads to mutation A46D in exon 2, which is a substitution of Alanine (GCT) for Aspartic Acid (GAT) at codon 46, (substitution of non-polar for polar aa). The above mutation was identified in 2 Greek CF chromosomes out of a total of 368 tested. Concerning the phenotype of the two patients, one is PI (621+1G->T/A46D) and the other is PS (G542X/A46D), but they both have severe pulmonary invovlement and otherwise typical clinical expression denoting that the new mutation is rather severe.

Submitted Phenotype Details This mutation was found in two patients. 1. Patient (F) is 18y, has PS, FEV1=58%, sweat-chloride levels of 80mEq/l and Pseudomonas infections. G542X was found on the other allele. 2. Patient (F) is 30y, has PI, FEV1=92.5, sweat-chloride levels of 92.5mEq/l and Pseudomonas infections. 621+1G>T was founf on the other allele. (Pers. corr.
