Mutation Details for c.489+3A>G

cDNA Name c.489+3A>G 
Exon or Intron intron 4 
Legacy Exon or Intron intron 4 
Legacy Name 621+3A->G 
Other Details The mutation was detected by DGGE and direct sequencing. 621+3A>G was detected in 4/250CF patients (0.8%), all 4 of Greek origin. Three of the patents had mutation [delta]F508 in trans and one had mutation 1898+1G>T in trans. All four patients are PI. The mutation was first reported by Ferrie RM, Silver A, Little S, Beards F, Mathew C in 1991 as a polymorphism. This mutation has been identified in one individual presenting at a pilot CF carrier screening program. No experimental evidence as to whether this substitution affects authentic splicing of the gene was available at that time.

Submitted Phenotype Details The mutation was identified in several patients aged 2-18 years, 4 females and 1 male, all diagnosed in infancy, one diagnosed at birth with meconium ileus, 4 PI and one PS, all with mild respiratory symptoms (FEV1 greater than 73%) and sweat chloride greater than 82%. All have chronic cough and bacterial lung colonization (Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Staph. Aureus, Klebsiella, Haemophilus). On the other chromosome deltaF508 was found in 3 patients, 1898+1G->T and W1282X in the other 2. (pers. corr. Tzetis and Tzetis et al. 2001)
