Genes affected

QDPR (HGNC:9752): (quinoid dihydropteridine reductase) This gene encodes the enzyme dihydropteridine reductase, which catalyzes the NADH-mediated reduction of quinonoid dihydrobiopterin. This enzyme is an essential component of the pterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylating systems. Mutations in this gene resulting in QDPR deficiency include aberrant splicing, amino acid substitutions, insertions, or premature terminations. Dihydropteridine reductase deficiency presents as atypical phenylketonuria due to insufficient production of biopterin, a cofactor for phenylalanine hydroxylase. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.9).

The homozygous c.*119+4759T>C variant in QDPR was identified by our study in one individual with hyperphenylalaninemia, global developmental delay, hypertonia, macrocephaly, seizures, constipation, drooling, dysphagia, and absent DHPR activity (PMID: 32022462). The phenotype of this individual homozygous for this variant is highly specific for dihydropteridine reductase deficiency based on the absent DHPR activity observed (PMID: 33903016). The c.*119+4759T>C variant in QDPR has not been previously reported in individuals with dihydropteridine reductase deficiency, but has been identified in 0.02% (13/68032) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs1167539604). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. The affected individual with this variant had an alternate molecular basis for the disease (dihydropteridine reductase deficiency) (PMID: 32022462, ClinVar Variation ID: 626310), suggesting that this variant may not be pathogenic. Computational prediction tools, including splice predictors, and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the c.*119+4759T>C variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_Supporting, PP4, BP4, BP5 (Richards 2015). -
