MUTATION c.1680-886A>G

Question
Hello,

Could you give me information about the mutation c.1680-886A> G? Does it induce a stop-codon?

Thank you in advance.
Answer
Hello,

The mutation c.1680-886A> G results in the creation of a splice donor site and an insertion of 49 base pairs between exons 11 and 12 which results in a frameshift and finally in a stop codon.

So this is a class I mutation which results in the lack of synthesis of CFTR protein. This is a known "CF Causing" mutation, say cause of cystic fibrosis when it is associated with another CF causing mutation.

Hope this answer can help.
Best wishes
