Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM5 PM2 PP4_Moderate PM3_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: This c.1162G>C (p.Val388Leu) variant in PAH was reported in 3 patients with PAH deficiency (PMID:27121329, 31623983) detected with the likely pathogenic variant p.Pro281Leu and the pathogenic variant p.Arg252Trp. DHPR activity, biopterin and/or pteridine analysis was performed to rule out other causes of hyperphenylalaninemia (PMID:27121329). This variant is a novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change p.Val388Met determined to be pathogenic has been seen before. This variant is present in Dominican populations at a minor allele frequency of 0.00052 (PAGE study). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_strong, PM2, PM5, PP4_moderate. LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA229366/MONDO:0009861/006

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 10 ACMG points.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Mar 17, 2016	The V388L variant has been reported in a Korean patient with PKU who also harbored a second missense variant in the PAH gene (Park et al. 1998). The V388L variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and a missense variant at the same position (V388M) has been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with PKU (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. In summary, the V388L variant is likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. -
