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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 4-41745807-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-41745807-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 521682.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_addAF=-0.0672748).. Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.

The p.*315Wext*41 pathogenic mutation (also known as c.945A>G), located in coding exon 3 of the PHOX2B gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 945, which is the last nucleotide of the PHOX2B gene. The stop codon at position 315 is replaced by tryptophan, resulting in an elongation of the protein by 41 amino acids. This alteration, as well as two other alterations (c.945A>T, c.945A>C), which also change the stop codon and elongate the protein by 41 amino acids (p.*315Cext*41), have been reported in individuals with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (Weese-Mayer DE et al. Pediatr. Pulmonol., 2009 Jun;44:521-35; Szczapa T et al. J Perinatol, 2013 Nov;33:905-7; Trochet D et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2005 Mar;76:421-6). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in abnormal protein production and is thus interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
