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]

Phenylketonuria Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen PAH Variant Curation Expert PanelAug 10, 2018PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1: Frameshift variant; PM2: Extremely low frequency. ExAC MAF: 0.00001.; PP4: Detected in PKU patient in international phase II clinical trial for sapropterin. (PMID:23430918). In summary this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for phenylketonuria in an autosomal recessive manner based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the PAH Expert Panel: (PVS1, PM2, PP4). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeApr 22, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 102705). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hyperphenylalaninemia (PMID: 24368688). This variant is present in population databases (rs199475661, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr168Serfs*27) in the PAH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PAH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1301187, 9634518). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 06, 2016Variant summary: The PAH c.503delA (p.Tyr168Serfs) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent PAH protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.526C>T, p.Arg176X; c.1089delG, p.Lys363fs). One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 1/121256 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PAH variant (0.0079057). This variant has been reported in two unrelated patients who carry c.1222C>T/p.R408W (pathogenic) in trans (Sarkissian_2011 and one internal sample). In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratory has classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
