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]

The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 318/24632 control chromosomes (10 homozygotes, 1/77, frequency: 0.01291), which significantly exceeds the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic PHOX2B variant of 1/1250000 (0.0000008), suggesting this variant is a benign polymorphism. Therefore, the variant of interest is classified as Benign. -
