Laterality disorders and isomerism
Gene: NKX2-5
This gene is associated with a phenotype in OMIM and Gene2Phenotype.
PMID: 12414819 describes 2 unrelated families. Family 1: 4 family members with variant in NKX2-5 had atrial septum defect. One of these family members was also diagnosed with polyspenia, midline symmetrical liver, ascending colon and caecum were shifted to the midline and forwards with the small intestine on the left. Family 2: 3 affected family members had atrial septum defect.
PMID: 25118008 describes a proband with a frameshift variant in NKX2-5 with the following phenotypes: double outlet right ventricle, common AV canal, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, asplenia, failure to thrive and short stature. The proband also had distorted organ position and liver was centrally located and spleen was not identied at 1 week of age. Also had intestinal malformation and underwent Ladd procedure and gastrostomy tube placement at 3 weeks. The authors in this paper notes that NKX2-5 variants are associated with cardiac malformations that are commonly seen in patients with heterotaxy (i.e. transposition of great artieries and double outlet right ventricle) and also with asplenia in some patients.
After discussion with the Genomics England Clinical Team it was decided that this gene should remain Amber on this panel.Created: 4 May 2021, 10:04 a.m. | Last Modified: 4 May 2021, 10:04 a.m.
