Genes affected
PAH (HGNC:8582): (phenylalanine hydroxylase) This gene encodes a member of the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase protein family. The encoded phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme hydroxylates phenylalanine to tyrosine and is the rate-limiting step in phenylalanine catabolism. Deficiency of this enzyme activity results in the autosomal recessive disorder phenylketonuria. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Apr 18, 2024
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change results in a frameshift in the PAH gene (p.*453Valext*35). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to extend the length of the PAH protein by 35 additional amino acid residues. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This frameshift has been observed in individual(s) with mild phenylketonuria (PMID: 14722928). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 102596). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: PAH c.1355dupA (p.X453ValfsX36) causes a frameshift which results in an extension of the protein. The variant was absent in 251194 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1355dupA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency (Phenylketonuria) (examples: AulehlaScholz_2003, Chien_2004, Sarkissian_2012, Reblova_2013). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and both classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
