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]

Benign:4

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Feb 21, 2013	Tyr78Tyr in exon 1 of PHOX2B: This variant is not expected to have clinical sign ificance because it does not alter an amino acid residue and is not located with in the splice consensus sequence. It has been identified in 1.1% (49/4406) of Af rican American chromosomes from a broad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS; dbSNP rs73810366). -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Nov 24, 2017	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Jan 12, 2018	This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	May 17, 2016	Variant summary: The PHOX2B c.234C>T (p.Tyr78Tyr) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. MutationTaster predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict the variant not to affect normal splicing. This variant was found in 114/120758 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the African subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0101498 (103/10148). This frequency is about 12180 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PHOX2B variant (0.0000008), highly suggesting this is a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of African origin. Taken together, this variant is classified as Benign. -
