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]

Submissions by phenotype

Haddad syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMar 03, 2020In summary, this variant is a novel in-frame duplication with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available for this variant, and the functional significance of the duplicated amino acid is currently unknown. While this variant is not present in population databases (ExAC), the frequency information is unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a PHOX2B-related disease. This sequence change inserts 3 nucleotides in exon 3 of the PHOX2B mRNA (c.774_776dupGGC). This leads to the insertion of 1 amino acid residue in the PHOX2B protein (p.Ala260dup) but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. -
