Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 2P and 2B. PM2BP4_Moderate

The NM_003924.4(PHOX2B):c.719G>A(p.Gly240Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000033 in 1,210,644 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G240S) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 240 of the PHOX2B protein (p.Gly240Asp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PHOX2B-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406411). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PHOX2B protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.G240D variant (also known as c.719G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the PHOX2B gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 719. The glycine at codon 240 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
