Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM3_StrongPP4_ModeratePM2

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.601C>T (p.His201Tyr) variant in PAH has been reported in multiple individuals with PAH deficiency (BH4 deficiency excluded). (PP4_Moderate; PMID:16198137). This variant is at a ow frequency in controls (3.964e-6 in gnomAD; PM2). This variant was detected with known pathogenic variants IVS10nt546 (PMID:9521426) and R158Q (PMID:16198137; PM3_strong). Computational evidence is conflicting. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PP4_Moderate, PM2, PM3_strong.

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]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 201 of the PAH protein (p.His201Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs62517205, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hyperphenylalaninemia (PMID: 9521426, 10598814, 16198137, 23792259). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 102752). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PAH protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hyperphenylalaninemia Pathogenic:1
Apr 13, 2017
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The PAH c.601C>T (p.His201Tyr) variant located in the Aromatic amino acid hydroxylase, C-terminal (via InterPro) involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and 3/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome. Reblova_2013 indicates that the His201 plays a key role in forming a H-bond needed for stablization. This variant is absent in 121300 control chromosomes (ExAC). Multiple publications have cited the variant in affected compound heterozygote individuals, predominantly from Italy, with a mild HPA. Taken together, the variant of interest has been classified as "pathogenic." -
