PTCH2

protein-coding

patched 2

Gene summary

This gene encodes a transmembrane receptor of the patched gene family. The encoded protein may function as a tumor suppressor in the hedgehog signaling pathway. Alterations in this gene have been associated with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, basal cell carcinoma, medulloblastoma, and susceptibility to congenital macrostomia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

There is one large family with a specific missense mutation (that is otherwise very rare in gnomAD) with a LOD score 2.41 and for which there is extensive functional studies with a Gorlin-like phenotype. The other report is a frameshift variant in a Japanese individual. The Ptch2 mouse knockout model showed related but milder phenotype with no tumors. The evidence that variants in PTCH2 cause a Gorlin-like phenotype (odontogenic cysts, etc) with milder phenotype and lower penetrance than the PTCH1-associated genotype is limited.

Basal cell nevus syndromeAD

Manifestation: Dermatologic; Musculoskeletal; Oncologic

Intervention: Oncologic

Rationale: Individuals are at risk for a number of types of malignancies, including basal cell carcinomas and medulloblastoma , as well as (rare) malignant rare keratocysttransformation, and awareness and surveillance may allow early diagnosis and treatment (including with molecular therapies that target the Hedgehog signaling pathway), potentially reducing morbidity and mortality; Avoidance of agents such as radiation therapy is indicated

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_003738.5. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: May have a role in epidermal development. May act as a receptor for Sonic hedgehog (SHH).;
Disease
DISEASE: Medulloblastoma (MDB) [MIM:155255]: Malignant, invasive embryonal tumor of the cerebellum with a preferential manifestation in children. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9931336}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) [MIM:605462]: A common malignant skin neoplasm that typically appears on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. BCC is slow growing and rarely metastasizes, but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. It usually develops as a flat, firm, pale area that is small, raised, pink or red, translucent, shiny, and waxy, and the area may bleed following minor injury. Tumor size can vary from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9931336}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
