Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM2 PVS1 PP4_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: This c.510-2A>G (aka IVS5-2A>G) variant in PAH has been observed in at least one patient with PAH deficiency; BH4 deficiency was ruled out (PMID:26503515, 23932990, and 19915519). The variant is absent from controls in population databases. This variant in the -2 splice acceptor site of intron 5 results in exon skipping or use of a cryptic splice site. The variant disrupts the reading frame and is predicted to undergo nonsense mediated decay. The variant breaks the splice site in IVS5 according to computational models. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, and PP4_Moderate.

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]

Variant summary: PAH c.510-2A>G is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant creates a 3 acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 245732 control chromosomes. c.510-2A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency (Phenylketonuria; Li_2015, Zhu_2017). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
