Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 8P and 1B. PP5_Very_Strong BP3

The NM_003924.4(PHOX2B):​c.741_755dupCGCGGCAGCGGCGGC​(p.Ala248_Ala252dup) variant causes a disruptive inframe insertion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A252A) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

PHOX2B (HGNC:9143): (paired like homeobox 2B) The DNA-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the paired family of homeobox proteins localized to the nucleus. The protein functions as a transcription factor involved in the development of several major noradrenergic neuron populations and the determination of neurotransmitter phenotype. The gene product is linked to enhancement of second messenger-mediated activation of the dopamine beta-hydroylase, c-fos promoters and several enhancers, including cyclic amp-response element and serum-response element. Expansion of a 20 amino acid polyalanine tract in this protein by 5-13 aa has been associated with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Ala241[25] pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 3 of the PHOX2B gene, results from an expansion of the polyalanine repeat region from 20 to 25 repeats. This expansion mutation is associated with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (Amiel J et al. Nat. Genet., 2003 Apr;33:459-61; Matera I et al. J. Med. Genet., 2004 May;41:373-80). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
