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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg111*) in the PAH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PAH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1301187, 9634518). This variant is present in population databases (rs76296470, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with phenylketonuria (PMID: 12542580, 16256386, 21307867, 24401910, 27121329). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 581). 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.331C>T (p.Arg111X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 246200 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.331C>T, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency (Phenylketonuria)(Tao_2015, Tyfield_1995). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Three ClinVar submissions from other clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as "pathogenic." Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The PAH c.331C>T (p.Arg111*) variant (also known as R111X) causes the premature termination of PAH protein synthesis. In the published literature, this variant has been reported in many individuals affected with phenylketonuria (PKU) (PMIDs: 17935162 (2008), 24401910 (2014), 29288420 (2018), 29413232 (2018), 36104584 (2022), and Gundorova et al. 2019 Russ J Genet 55:1025). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000035 (4/113714 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
