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]

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

Variant summary: The variant of interest causes a synonymous change involving a non-conserved nucleotide with 3/5 Alamut algorithms predicting the creation of a splice donor site. However, these in silico predictions have not been confirmed with functional studies. This variant was found in 35308/121456 control chromosomes (6524 homozygotes) at a frequency of 0.2907061, which exceeds the predicted the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic PAH allele (0.0079057), highly suggesting this variant is benign. In addition, a reputable clinical laboratory classifies the variant as Benign. The variant of interest is cited as a known common polymorphism in the literature. Taken together, this variant was classified as a Benign variant. -
