Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 1P and 0B. PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000277.3:c.870T>C variant in PAH is a synonymous (silent) variant (p.His290=) that is not predicted to impact splicing. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature and results of functional studies are unavailable. The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.0001694 (6/35412 alleles) in the Latino/Admixed American population, which is lower than the ClinGen PAH VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.0002), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 991620, 1 star review status) with one submitter classifying the variant as a variant of uncertain significance and one submitter classifying the variant as likely benign. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for PAH deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen PAH Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 2.0): PM2_Supporting.

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]
