Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000277.3(PAH):c.835C>G(p.Pro279Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000657 in 152,158 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P279C) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 13 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_000277.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr12-102852821-GG-CA is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1693227.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.954
• PP5: Variant 12-102852822-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-102852822-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 458081.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Phenylketonuria Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Apr 11, 2023	ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 458081). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Pro279 amino acid residue in PAH. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21890392). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PAH protein function. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with phenylketonuria (PKU) (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 279 of the PAH protein (p.Pro279Ala). -
