Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PP4_Moderate PM2 PP3 PM3_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.912G>A (p.Gln304Gln) variant in PAH has been reported in multiple PKU patients (BH4 deficiency excluded in some) (PMID:23514811). This variant is absent from 1000G and ESP, and has an extremely low frequency in gnomAD (MAF=0.000004). This is a synonymous variant that occurs at the junction of exon8/intron8, and computational analyses (Alamut v.2.11) predict that this variant may impact splicing by reducing (~20%) the canonical donor site. p.Gln304= has been detected with multiple pathogenic variants without confirmation of parental testing to determine phase: R241H (VarID102804, PMID:27413125); K363fsdelG (c.1089delG, VarID102518, PMID:8659548); I65T (VarID636) and A300S (VarID92751, PMID:2351481); p.R176L (VarID631, PMID:23500595). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PP3, PM2, PM3_strong, 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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects codon 304 of the PAH mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PAH protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 8, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs199475583, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with hyperphenylalaninemia (PMID: 8659548, 9359039, 23500595, 24941924). This variant is also known as p.Gln304Gln. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 102892). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
