Genes affected
PAX2 (HGNC:8616): (paired box 2) PAX2 encodes paired box gene 2, one of many human homologues of the Drosophila melanogaster gene prd. The central feature of this transcription factor gene family is the conserved DNA-binding paired box domain. PAX2 is believed to be a target of transcriptional supression by the tumor suppressor gene WT1. Mutations within PAX2 have been shown to result in optic nerve colobomas and renal hypoplasia. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.936C>G (p.N312K) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the PAX2 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 936, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 312 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
