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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 21, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr356*) in the PAH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PAH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1301187, 9634518). This variant is present in population databases (rs62516095, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hyperphenylalaninemia (PMID: 9860305, 10471838, 24301756, 26322415, 26600521, 26666653). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 595). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 24, 2020Variant summary: PAH c.1068C>G (p.Tyr356X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant is also located close to a canonical splice site in exon 11, and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. At least one publication reported that the variant caused the complete lack of the full-length transcript in lymphocytes isolated from a homozygous patient, while resulting in two shorter fragments: one transcript with an out of frame skipping of exon 11 (~70%), and a second transcript (~30%) with an in frame deletion of exon 8-11 (that is predicted to result in the deletion of amino acids 282-400) (Ellingsen 1999). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251004 control chromosomes. c.1068C>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency (Phenylketonuria; e.g. Ellingsen_1999, Eiken_1996, Okano_1998, Liang_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that the variant impairs enzyme activity (e.g. Liang_2014). Three other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories cited the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
