Germline PHOX2B mutation in a pedigree segregating neuroblastoma and Hirschsprung disease. A, Family 1 pedigree structure. DNA samples from this family with neuroblastoma were available only for patients with a PHOX2B result shown (wt = wild type; 676delG = heterozygous mutation segregating through three generations). Patients 1-001 and 1-010 also had Hirschsprung disease, and patient 1-001 was affected with neurofibromatosis type 1. B, Genomic organization of PHOX2B and schematic representation of the PHOX2B protein. The homeobox domain and the 9– and 20–amino-acid polyalanine repeats are shown for both schemas (pink, yellow, and dark red boxes, respectively). The location of the 676delG mutation is shown (arrow). C, DNA sequence electropherograms from exon 3 of the PHOX2B gene, showing a heterozygous single-base deletion at G676 (arrow) that segregates through all three generations but does not appear in a representative unaffected family member.
