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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:research

This missense change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 416 of the PAH protein (p.Pro416Leu). This variant has been observed in one patient with hyperphenylalaninemia who was confirmed to have another well-established pathogenic PAH variant, p.Pro281Leu (IMGGE, Belgrade, Serbia; PM3_Supporting, PP4_Supporting). The variant is absent from the population database gnomAD v4.1.0. (PM2_Supporting) and it is predicted to be deleterious by various prediction algorithms (MetaRNN score 0.995, REVEL score 0.938; PP3_Strong). The variant is located in a hot-spot region of the protein (length of 17 amino-acids has 45 missense/in-frame variants (31 pathogenic variants, 14 uncertain variants, and no benign), which qualifies as strong pathogenic; PM1_Strong), and two different missense variant at the same site, p.Pro416Gln and p.Pro416Thr, have been classified as likely pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 558091 and 987913, PM5_Strong). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for hyperphenylalaninemia in an autosomal recessive manner based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM1_Strong, PM5_Strong, PP3_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PM3_Supporting, PP4_Supporting). -
