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]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 259 of the PAH protein (p.Ala259Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs118203921, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with phenylketonuria (PMID: 2035532, 18299955, 26666653). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 602). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PAH protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PAH function (PMID: 8304187, 9799096, 10479481). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: PAH c.776C>T (p.Ala259Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the aromatic amino acid hydroxylase, C-terminal domain (IPR019774) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251340 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.776C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency (Phenylketonuria) (e.g. Koch_1997, Benit_1999, Jeannesson-Thivisol_2015). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and found the variant results in <5% of normal activity (e.g. Benit_1999). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 10479481, 26666653, 9169088). Two submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic and likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
