Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM2PP4PP3PS3PM3_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.508C>G (p.His170Asp) variant in PAH has been reported in 1 patient with hyperphenylalaninemia, and 1 patient with benign persistent hyperphenylalaninemia. (PP4; PMID:11385716). This variant has an extremely low allele frequency (0.00018) in gnomAD (PM2; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has 43% enzyme activity (PS3; PMID:17935162). This variant was detected in trans with R261X, c.60+5G>T, c.1315+1G>A (Pathogenic in ClinVar) (PM3_Strong; PMID:11385716; PMID:24941924). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the c.829T>G variant may impact the protein (PP3). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for PAH.

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 sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 170 of the PAH protein (p.His170Asp). This variant is present in population databases (rs199475655, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with benign persistent hyperphenylalaninemia and hyperphenylalaninemia (PMID: 11385716, 12971421). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 92744). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PAH function (PMID: 15557004, 17935162). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The H170D missense variants in the PAH gene has been reported as a pathogenic variant in the PAH Consortium database. The H170D has been reported previously in association with both mild phenylketonuria (PKU) and with hyperphenylalaninemia (Yang et al., 2001; Vela-Amieva et al., 2015). Functional analysis found that H170D is associated with significant residual enzyme activity and is classified as a BH4-responsive variant (Zurfluh et al. 2008). -
