Note: CFTR variants were categorized using three functional annotation databases as well as three computational tools for predicting deleteriousness. Cis and trans describe the relationship between two or more variants; cis refers to variants on the same gene copy while trans describes variants on different gene copies.
Abbreviations: CF, cystic fibrosis; VVCC, variant of varying clinical consequence; VUS, variant of uncertain significance.
