Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM2_Supporting PM5 PP3_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.782G>T (p.Arg261Leu) variant in PAH has been previously reported Pathogenic by one clinical laboratory in ClinVar (see variant ID 576255); the laboratory stated that it was found as an “inherited” allele in 1 Han Chinese proband with PKU (subtype not otherwise specified, no further phenotypic details given). No further information regarding zygosity, familial segregation, and/or functional assays was provided, and no formal classification criteria were given, aside from “case-control” was given in the collection method. The variant results in a substitution of a highly conserved Arg residue with Leucine; the two amino acid residues are physiochemically distinct (basic versus nonpolar side chains) and the substitution is predicted damaging by multiple lines of computational evidence, e.g., Predicted deleterious in SIFT, Polyphen2, Mutation Taster. REVEL= 0.979) (PP3_Strong). It is absent from control databases including ethnically matched individuals, including gnomAD/ExAC, 1000 Genomes, and ESP (PM2_Supporting). Other missense changes at this Arg (Arg261) have been previously reported Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar, e.g., p.Arg261Gln (Pathogenic per internal PAH ClinGen Working Group classification, ClinVar ID 582), as well as p.Arg261Gly and p.Arg261Pro (PM5). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for phenylketonuria in an autosomal recessive manner based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the PAH Expert Panel: PM2_Supporting, PP3_Strong, PM5.

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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.
