This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: This c.527G>A (p.Arg176Gln) variant in PAH was reported in at least two patients with PAH deficiency (PMID:30459323, 26210745, and 27121329) and detected with pathogenic variants p.Val388Met, p.Arg158Gln, and Arg243Gln (PMID:27121329,10234516, and 30459323). This variant has extremely low frequency in gnomAD (MAF=0.00007). One other missense variant at this amino acid residue is determined to be pathogenic in ClinVar: p.Arg176Leu by nine submitters. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific AMCG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_strong, PM2, PM5, and PP4_moderate.

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 testing3billionSep 01, 2022The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.003%). It is located in a mutational hot spot and/or well-established functional domain in which established pathogenic variants have been reported. Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.62; 3Cnet: 0.51). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000102724). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least 2 similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 10234516 , 27121329 , 30459323). Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg176Leu, p.Arg176Pro) have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000000631 , VCV000102725). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Nov 10, 2021NM_000277.1(PAH):c.527G>A(R176Q) is a missense variant classified as likely pathogenic in the context of phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency. The R176Q variant can be associated with variant or non-PKU hyperphenylalaninemia. R176Q has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 10234516, 29499199, 26210745, 30459323, 27121329, Gundorova_2017_(no PMID; article), Tao_2019_(no PMID; poster), 32668217). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. R176Q has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: SAS 0.01%). In summary, NM_000277.1(PAH):c.527G>A(R176Q) is a missense variant that has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

Pathogenic, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen PAH Variant Curation Expert PanelOct 15, 2020This c.527G>A (p.Arg176Gln) variant in PAH was reported in at least two patients with PAH deficiency (PMID: 30459323, 26210745, and 27121329) and detected with pathogenic variants p.Val388Met, p.Arg158Gln, and Arg243Gln (PMID: 27121329,10234516, and 30459323). This variant has extremely low frequency in gnomAD (MAF=0.00007). One other missense variant at this amino acid residue is determined to be pathogenic in ClinVar: p.Arg176Leu by nine submitters. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific AMCG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_strong, PM2, PM5, and PP4_moderate. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpSep 21, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg176 amino acid residue in PAH. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8088845, 23500595, 27121329). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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 not expected to disrupt PAH protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 102724). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hyperphenylalaninemia (PMID: 10234516, 23500595, 26210745, 27121329, 30459323). This variant is present in population databases (rs74486803, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 176 of the PAH protein (p.Arg176Gln). -
