Any hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the CSF2RB gene.
Features include always present findings: Intraalveolar phospholipid accumulation, Ground-glass opacification, Dyspnea, and Interlobular septal thickening and others. 7 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Lungs and breathing | 3 | Dyspnea, Difficulty breathing (respiratory insufficiency), Exertional dyspnea |
CSF2RB encodes colony stimulating factor 2 receptor subunit beta (897 aa). Cell surface receptor that plays a role in immune response and controls the production and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into lineage-restricted cells. Highest expression in Whole Blood (67.5 TPM) and Spleen (37.1 TPM).
Surfactant metabolism dysfunction, pulmonary, 5 is caused by mutations in the CSF2RB gene on chromosome 22.
The CSF2RB protein participates in CSF2RB R211Efs*54, Defective CSF2RB causes SMDP5, and Defective CSF2RA causes SMDP4 pathways.
CSF2RB is classified as a druggable target (Druggable Genome and External Side Of Plasma Membrane categories) with score 13.1.
Genetic testing for CSF2RB is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for surfactant metabolism dysfunction, pulmonary, 5 has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 5 always present features.
No clinical trials have been registered for surfactant metabolism dysfunction, pulmonary, 5.
28 publications have been identified in PubMed for surfactant metabolism dysfunction, pulmonary, 5. Research spans Basic Science / Preclinical (36%), Epidemiology / Natural History (29%), and Review / Meta-Analysis (14%).
