The spectrum of clinical manifestations depends on the CFTR genotype. The frequency and spectrum of the CFTR variants vary between populations and clinical groups. CFTR variants and genotypes were analyzed in Russian men with CF (n = 546) and CBAVD syndrome (n = 125). Pathogenic variants were detected in 93.95% and 39.2% of the CF and CBAVD alleles, respectively. The most frequent c.1521_1523del (F508del; p.Phe508del) variant was found in 541 (49.5%) CF alleles. A total of 162 CFTR genotypes were revealed in CF patients, including 152 homozygous and 394 compound-heterozygous. The most common CF-genotype was F508del\/F508del (24.9%). Other frequent CF-genotypes were F508del\/3849+10kbC&gt;T, F508del\/CFTRdele2,3, and F508del\/E92K. CF-causing variants and\/or 5T allele were found in 88% of CBAVD patients: 5T\/CFTRmut (48.0%), CFTRmut\/N (17.6%), CFTRmut\/CFTRmut (6.4%), 5T\/5T (10.4%), 5T\/N (5.6%) and N\/N (12.0%), with the most common CBAVD-genotype being F508del\/5T (29.6%). The allele frequencies of F508del, CFTRdele2,3 394delTT, and 3849+10kbC&gt;T were significantly higher in CF patients. L138ins\/L138ins, 2184insA\/E92K, and L138ins\/N genotypes were found in CBAVD, but not in CF patients. The results indicate certain differences in the frequency of some CFTR variants and genotypes in Russian CF and CBAVD patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms242216287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,14]],"date-time":"2023-11-14T02:20:37Z","timestamp":1699928437000},"page":"16287","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Pathogenic Variants and Genotypes of the CFTR Gene in Russian Men with Cystic Fibrosis and CBAVD Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Vyacheslav","family":"Chernykh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation, 117997 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stanislav","family":"Krasovsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1389-4731","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga","family":"Solovova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tagui","family":"Adyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Stepanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ekaterina","family":"Marnat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation, 117997 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Shtaut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Sedova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatyana","family":"Sorokina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatyana","family":"Beskorovainaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6395-0407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Kondratyeva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4905-1303","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga","family":"Shchagina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandr","family":"Polyakov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinbiochem.2018.03.012","article-title":"Fertility and Infertility: Definition and Epidemiology","volume":"62","author":"Wyns","year":"2018","journal-title":"Clin.
