Non-syndromic familial congenital anorectal malformations
Gene: MYCN
Mode of inheritance
MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Phenotypes
Feingold syndrome
Comment on list classification: Keep Amber rating as only 1 confirmed case of anal atresia and a variant in MYCN. Another case of a patient with Feingold syndrome 1 and anal atresia has been reported but no gene analysis.Created: 1 Nov 2018, 2:34 p.m.
MYCN is associated with Feingold syndrome 1 in OMIM and a confirmed association with this disorder in Gene2Phenotype. Phenotypic features of this syndrome include variable combinations of microcephaly, limb malformations, esophageal and duodenal atresias, and learning disability/mental retardation.
Marcelis et al 2008 (PMID: 18470948) sequenced MYCN in 130 patients, 93 of which had a strong clinical suspicion of Feingold syndrome, the rest were missing some of the core features. 16 heterozygous mutations in MYCN were found in 26 patients from 17 families. All mutations either occurred de novo or segregated withthe disease in the family. Together with previous reports, a total of 23 separate MYCN mutations in 77 patients from 32 families have now been described. A total of 19 of the mutations create a stop codon or cause a frameshift. Out of 77 patients 55% showed atresias of the gastrointestinal tract. Esophageal atresia and duodenal atresia were almost equally frequent, 32 vs. 31%. Other atresias, jejunal or anal, are rare.
Marcelis et al 2008 report that previously, one case with anal atresia was published [Buttiker et al., 2000 (PMID: 10817649)] but with no molecular genetic analysis. Their present series includes one patient with this malformation and a variant in MYCN.Created: 8 Oct 2018, 10:55 a.m.
