TABLE 3.

Type and frequency of CFTR genotypes

CFTR Genotype Dominican Republic, N (%) Puerto Rico, N (%)
2 CF-disease causing, trans 6 (10%) 17 (81%)
2 CF-disease causing, cis 1 (2%) 1 (5%)
2 VVCC, 1 VUS, cis --- 1 (5%)
1 VUS, 1 predicted, cis 1 (2%) ---
2 Predicted, cis 3 (5%) ---
1 VVCC, 1 VUS, cis 1 (2%) ---
1 CF-causing 1 (2%) ---
1 VVCC 3 (5%) ---
1 VUS 2 (3%) ---
1 Predicted 1 (2%) ---
No variants 42 (69%) 2 (10%)

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.
