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 Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.4, offset of 34, new splice context is: tagGTctgt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 12-102851686-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-102851686-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 987762.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr12-102851686-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The c.912+1G>T variant is a canonical splice donor in PAH in which exon skipping disrupts the reading frame and is predicted to undergo nonsense mediated-decay. This variant was identified in 1 patient with PAH deficiency in a Catalonian cohort (PMID 10598814). This variant is absent from population databases. In summary, c.912+1G>T in PAH meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, and PP4. -
