<meta name="description" content="PAX2-related disorder is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with renal and eye abnormalities. The disorder was originally referred to as renal coloboma syndrome and characterized by renal hypodysplasia and abnormalities of the optic nerve; with improved access to molecular testing, a wider range of phenotypes has been recognized in association with pathogenic variants in PAX2. Abnormal renal structure or function is noted in 92% of affected individuals and ophthalmologic abnormalities in 77% of affected individuals. Renal abnormalities can be clinically silent in rare individuals. In most individuals, clinically significant renal insufficiency / renal failure is reported. End-stage renal disease requiring renal transplant is not uncommon. Uric acid nephrolithiasis has been reported. Ophthalmologic abnormalities are typically described as optic nerve coloboma or dysplasia. Iris colobomas have not been reported in any individual with PAX2&ndash;related disorder. Ophthalmologic abnormalities may significantly impair vision in some individuals, while others have subtle changes only noted after detailed ophthalmologic examination. Additional clinical findings include high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss, soft skin, and ligamentous laxity. PAX2 pathogenic variants have been identified in multiple sporadic and familial cases of nonsyndromic renal disease including renal hypodysplasia and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.">

characteristics.</h4><p><i>PAX2-</i>related disorder is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with renal and eye abnormalities. The disorder was originally referred to as renal coloboma syndrome and characterized by renal hypodysplasia and abnormalities of the optic nerve; with improved access to molecular testing, a wider range of phenotypes has been recognized in association with pathogenic variants in <i>PAX2</i>. Abnormal renal structure or function is noted in 92% of affected individuals and ophthalmologic abnormalities in 77% of affected individuals. Renal abnormalities can be clinically silent in rare individuals. In most individuals, clinically significant renal insufficiency / renal failure is reported. End-stage renal disease requiring renal transplant is not uncommon. Uric acid nephrolithiasis has been reported. Ophthalmologic abnormalities are typically described as optic nerve coloboma or dysplasia. Iris colobomas have not been reported in any individual with <i>PAX2</i>&#x02013;related disorder. Ophthalmologic abnormalities may significantly impair vision in some individuals, while others have subtle changes only noted after detailed ophthalmologic examination. Additional clinical findings include high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss, soft skin, and ligamentous laxity. <i>PAX2</i> pathogenic variants have been identified in multiple sporadic and familial cases of nonsyndromic renal disease including renal hypodysplasia and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The diagnosis of <i>PAX2</i>-related disorder is established in a proband with the characteristic renal and/or eye findings by the identification of a heterozygous pathogenic variant in <i>PAX2</i> by molecular genetic testing. Among individuals with apparently nonsyndromic renal hypodysplasia and in families with autosomal dominant isolated focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, pathogenic variants in <i>PAX2</i> have been identified in approximately 8% and 4%, respectively.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Treatment of manifestations:</i> Ongoing treatment of hypertension and/or vesicoureteral reflux; renal replacement therapy (dialysis and/or renal transplantation) for end-stage renal disease; low vision aids for significant visual impairment.</p><p><i>Prevention of secondary complications:</i> Use of protective eyewear to prevent retinal detachment.</p><p><i>Surveillance:</i> Follow up by a nephrologist to monitor renal function and blood pressure and an ophthalmologist to monitor vision, with periodic audiometric evaluations.</p><p><i>Evaluation of relatives at risk:</i> Offer molecular genetic testing if a <i>PAX2</i> pathogenic variant has been identified in an affected family member. If no <i>PAX2</i> pathogenic variant has been found, perform dilated ophthalmologic examination, renal ultrasound examination, tests of renal function, uric acid levels, and urinalysis; measure blood pressure.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p><i>PAX2</i>-related disorder is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Approximately 65% of probands with a documented <i>PAX2</i> pathogenic variant have a negative family history. In such cases, the negative family history may be explained by a <i>de novo</i> pathogenic variant, unrecognized symptoms in the parents, or parental germline mosaicism for a <i>PAX2</i> pathogenic variant. Both maternal and paternal germline mosaicism, with unaffected parents having more than one affected child with a pathogenic variant, have been reported. Prenatal testing and preimplantation genetic testing are possible if the pathogenic <i>PAX2</i> pathogenic variant has been identified in the family.</p></div></div><div id="papr.Diagnosis"><h2 id="_papr_Diagnosis_">Diagnosis</h2><p>Renal coloboma syndrome (or papillorenal syndrome) was the name given to an autosomal dominant condition associated with renal hypodysplasia and abnormalities of the optic nerve and a heterozygous pathogenic variant in <i>PAX2</i>.

Some ophthalmologists refer to this finding as congenital excavation of the optic nerve and others as "optic nerve coloboma." However, the use of the term coloboma can be confusing in this setting because coloboma usually refers to non-closure of the optic fissure during the seventh week of gestation, resulting in typical uveal colobomas (iris and retinal colobomas). The developmental mechanism underlying the optic nerve abnormalities observed in <i>PAX2</i>-related disorder is under investigation in animal models: in both mouse and zebrafish, homozygous loss-of-function alleles of <i>Pax2</i>/<i>pax2a</i> result in failed optic fissure closure [<a class="bibr" href="#papr.REF.schimmenti.2009.135" rid="papr.REF.schimmenti.2009.135">Schimmenti 2009</a>]. (2) Some have described one of the optic nerve findings in this syndrome as "morning glory anomaly," defined as a wide and deeply excavated optic nerve with a central glial tuft and all vessels exiting abnormally at the periphery of the nerve, giving the appearance of a morning glory flower. However, it is debated whether use of the term morning glory anomaly is appropriate to describe the optic nerve malformation in <i>PAX2</i> -related disorder because it may be a misnomer for the dysplasia of the optic nerve typically seen in this syndrome.</p><p><b>Retinal findings in addition to optic nerve findings</b> have been described in 23 (13%) of 173 affected individuals.

<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NM_003990.3" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">NM_003990.3</a> encodes a PAX-2 isoform of 431 amino acids (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/NP_003981.2" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">NP_003981.2</a>). Paired box protein PAX-2 is a DNA-binding protein characterized by an N-terminal paired domain, a bipartite helix-loop-helix domain, a small octapeptide domain, a truncated homeodomain, and a proline/serine/threonine-rich C-terminal domain. Multiple isoforms, by alternative splicing of exons 6, 10, and 12, are known to exist.</p><p><b>Abnormal gene product.</b> Review of ExAC (<a href="https://exac.broadinstitute.org/" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">exac.broadinstitute.org</a>) indicates that PAX2 is relatively intolerant of loss of function or missense alleles. The majority of <i>PAX2</i> pathogenic variants are expected to result either in the loss of expression from one allele or in expression of a significantly truncated protein.</p><p>To date, all clearly pathogenic in-frame variants (missense, in-frame deletions, and in-frame duplications) are located in the paired domain (exons 2-4). It is not known if these pathogenic variants exert their effect by reducing the binding to normal DNA targets or by allowing binding to abnormal DNA targets. Six missense variants have been reported outside of the paired domain. Each of these variants has been reported in a single individual and the evidence for pathogenicity is not as strong as with other <i>PAX2</i> variants.</p></div></div><div id="papr.Chapter_Notes"><h2 id="_papr_Chapter_Notes_">Chapter Notes</h2><div id="papr.Revision_History"><h3>Revision History</h3><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>8 February 2018 (ha) Comprehensive update posted live</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>20 November 2014 (me) Comprehensive update posted live</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>12 July 2012 (me) Comprehensive update posted live</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>8 June 2007 (me) Review posted live</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>8 December 2006 (las) Original submission</div></li></ul></div></div><div id="papr.References"><h2 id="_papr_References_">References</h2><div id="papr.Published_Guidelines__Consensus_Sta"><h3>Published Guidelines / Consensus Statements</h3><ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><p><div class="bk_ref" id="papr.REF1">Committee on Bioethics, Committee on Genetics, and American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Social, Ethical, Legal Issues Committee.
