Variants pathogenicity by type
Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the PAH gene is commonly pathogenic or not.
In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.
Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

- Disease
- DISEASE: Phenylketonuria (PKU) [MIM:261600]: Autosomal recessive inborn error of phenylalanine metabolism, due to severe phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency. It is characterized by blood concentrations of phenylalanine persistently above 1200 mumol (normal concentration 100 mumol) which usually causes mental retardation (unless low phenylalanine diet is introduced early in life). They tend to have light pigmentation, rashes similar to eczema, epilepsy, extreme hyperactivity, psychotic states and an unpleasant 'mousy' odor. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10200057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10679941, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11180595, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11326337, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11385716, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11461196, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12501224, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1355066, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1363837, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1363838, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1671810, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1672290, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1672294, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1679030, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1709636, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18538294, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1975559, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2014802, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22513348, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22526846, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23792259, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2564729, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2615649, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2840952, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7833954, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8068076, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8406445, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8889583, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8889590, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9048935, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9101291, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9452061, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9452062, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9521426, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9600453, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9792407, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9792411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9950317}.
