Ivone Leong (Genomics England Curator)

Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics). This gene is associated with a phenotype in OMIM and Gene2Phenotype. This gene has been given an Amber rating as more evidence is required to support a gene-disease association.

Comment on publications: PMID: 25484916 describes a case of a patient with MRKH and hypothyroidism with a de novo deletion of 2q13-14.2 region (includes PAX8).

PMID: 31731040 describes a second case of a patient with MRKH and congenital thyroid gland hypoplasia with a de novo interstitial 2q12.1q14.1 deletion (the region includes PAX8).

In both PMID: 25484916 and 31731040, the authors theorise that PAX8 may be responsible.

I don't know

Variants in this gene are associated with congenital hypothyroidism.

5 individuals identified in large cohorts with MRKHS and likely deleterious variants in PAX8. At least one of the individuals had congenital hypothyroidism together with features of MRKHS, suggesting this is phenotype expansion. Amber rating suggested due to limited case-level data.
