The NM_000277.3(PAH):c.526C>G (p.Arg176Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.R176P: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 102725, 1 star) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.R176= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 2840878, 1 star)

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]

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Specifications for PAH are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PM1Mutational hot spot or critical domain		UniProt domain with ≥4 pathogenic missense and OR ≥ 5 vs. background — hotspot (PM1); In-domain: 7 pathogenic, 0 benign rare missense variants (OR vs. background: 75.0).; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 35 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 355.0).
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Absent from gnomAD (AR/unknown gene) — PM2; Absent from gnomAD at well-covered site (MOI: AR) (base 0.001, raised to 0.00132 by highest known P/LP ClinVar AF 0.00132) — PM2 moderate.
	PM5Novel missense at known pathogenic residue		Different pathogenic missense at same AA residue in ClinVar (PM5); ClinVar contains a germline Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic entry at the same amino acid position with a different amino acid change: p.R176P: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 102725, 1 star); Other variants at the same amino acid residue (not pathogenic): p.R176= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 2840878, 1 star)
