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]

Haddad syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 29, 2023In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PHOX2B protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406402). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PHOX2B-related conditions. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 224 of the PHOX2B protein (p.Pro224Thr). -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 09, 2023The p.P224T variant (also known as c.670C>A), located in coding exon 3 of the PHOX2B gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 670. The proline at codon 224 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved on limited sequence alignment. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
