Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong

The NM_000277.3(PAH):​c.896T>C​(p.Phe299Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. F299C) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a helix (size 13) in uniprot entity PH4H_HUMAN there are 29 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000277.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr12-102851703-A-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.988

The c.896T>C (p.Phe299Ser) variant in PAH has not been reported in a patient with PKU to our knowledge. It was noted in PMID: 9792411 but the p.Phe299Cys variant is listed as the amino acid change in the table and text, so the actual variant in the patient is unclear. This variant is absent from 1000G, ESP, ExAC and gnomAD and has an extremely low frequency in PAGE (MAF=0.00012). A deleterious effect is predicted in SIFT, Polyphen-2, MutationTaster, and REVEL. A different pathogenic missense change has been seen at the same amino acid (p.Phe299Cys). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as uncertain significance for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM2, PM5, PP3. -
