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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 169 of the PAH protein (p.Arg169Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs281865440, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with PAH-related conditions (PMID: 28771436, 32668217; BIOPKU http://www.biopku.org). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 125436). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on PAH protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg169 amino acid residue in PAH. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10234516, 18299955, 21147011, 26666653, 28982351, 30459323). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

NM_000277.1(PAH):c.505C>T(R169C) is a missense variant classified as likely pathogenic in the context of phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency. Please note that the R169C mutation can be associated with any form of this disease. R169C has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 32668217, 30050108, 28982351, 28771436). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. R169C has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: SAS 0.003%). In summary, NM_000277.1(PAH):c.505C>T(R169C) is a missense variant that has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
