Individuals with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome have characteristic variants in the PHOX2B gene (primarily polyalanine expansion mutations). The PHOX2B gene acts as a transcriptional activator in the promotion of pan-neuronal differentiation in the autonomic nervous system during early embryologic development, with a primary role in the sympathetic noradrenergic phenotype in vertebrates. Because sympathetic innervation has been hypothesized to affect the development of dermatoglyphic pattern types, we hypothesized that individuals with PHOX2B-confirmed congenital central hypoventilation syndrome would have characteristic dermatoglyphic patterning and that the dermatoglyphic phenotype would be related to the disease-defining PHOX2B genotype.<\/jats:p><jats:p>METHODS. Dermatoglyphic pattern type frequency, left\/right symmetry, and genotype\/phenotype correlation were assessed for 33 individuals with PHOX2B-confirmed congenital central hypoventilation syndrome and compared with published control data.<\/jats:p><jats:p>RESULTS. Dermatoglyphic pattern type frequencies were altered in congenital central hypoventilation syndrome cases versus controls. In particular, there was an increase of arches in females and ulnar loops in males, with the largest differences for the left hand and for individuals with both congenital central hypoventilation syndrome and Hirschsprung disease. Dissimilarity scores between the congenital central hypoventilation syndrome and congenital central hypoventilation syndrome + Hirschsprung disease cases were not significantly different, nor were dissimilarity scores between all of the female and all of the male cases. No significant association was found between the number of polyalanine repeats in the PHOX2B genotypic category and dermatoglyphic pattern frequencies in the congenital central hypoventilation syndrome study groups.<\/jats:p><jats:p>CONCLUSIONS. These results represent the first report describing specific dermatoglyphic patterning in congenital central hypoventilation syndrome and suggest a relationship between PHOX2B and the expression of dermatoglyphic pattern types. An expanded congenital central hypoventilation syndrome data set to include the full spectrum of PHOX2B mutations is necessary to further delineate the role of PHOX2B in dermatoglyphic patterning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2005-3134","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,2]],"date-time":"2006-08-02T17:07:56Z","timestamp":1154538476000},"page":"e408-e414","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Characterization of Dermatoglyphics in<i>PHOX2B<\/i>-Confirmed Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"118","author":[{"given":"Emily S.","family":"Todd","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicole M.","family":"Scott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Craniofacial and Dental Genetics, Division of Oral Biology"},{"name":"Department of Human Genetics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debra E.","family":"Weese-Mayer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seth M.","family":"Weinberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Craniofacial and Dental Genetics, Division of Oral Biology"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth M.","family":"Berry-Kravis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics"},{"name":"Neurology and Biochemistry, Rush Children's Hospital at Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean M.","family":"Silvestri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna S.","family":"Kenny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Susan A.","family":"Hauptman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lili","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mary L.","family":"Marazita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Craniofacial and Dental Genetics, Division of Oral Biology"},{"name":"Department of Human Genetics, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania"},{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dental Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021120822424585800_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Weese-Mayer DE, Shannon DC, Keens TG, Silvestri JM.
