Occurrence of Esophageal Atresia With Tracheoesophageal Fistula in Siblings From Three-Generation Family Affected by Variable Expressivity MYCN Mutation: A Case Report
The MYCN oncogene encodes a transcription factor belonging to the MYC family. It is primarily expressed in normal developing embryos and is thought to be critical in brain and other neural development. Loss-of-function variants resulting in haploinsufficiency of MYCN, which encodes a protein with a...

The MYCN oncogene encodes a transcription factor belonging to the MYC family. It is primarily expressed in normal developing embryos and is thought to be critical in brain and other neural development. Loss-of-function variants resulting in haploinsufficiency of MYCN, which encodes a protein with a basic helix–loop–helix domain causes Feingold syndrome (OMIM 164280, ORPHA 391641). We present an occurrence of esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal fistula in siblings from a three-generation family affected by variable expressivity of MYCN mutation p.(Ser90GlnfsTer176) as a diagnostic effect of searching the cause of familial esophageal atresia using NGS-based whole-exome sequencing (WES).
