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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser16*) in the PAH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PAH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1301187, 9634518). This variant is present in population databases (rs62642906, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with hyperphenylalaninemia and phenylketonuria (PMID: 8535445, 10394930, 16198137, 17096675, 21147011, 21890392, 26322415). This variant is also known as c.44_45delTC, p.Ser16fs. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 102696). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.47_48delCT;p.(Ser16*) variant creates a premature translational stop signal in the PAH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product - PVS1. This sequence change has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ClinVar ID: 10269; PMID: 8535445; PMID: 10394930; PMID: 16198137; PMID: 17096675; PMID: 21147011; PMID: 21890392; PMID: 263224156) - PS4. This variant is not present in population databases (rs62642906- gnomAD; ABraOM no frequency - http://abraom.ib.usp.br/) - PM2. The p.(Ser16*) was detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (PMID:8535445) - PM3. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. -

Variant summary: PAH c.47_48delCT (p.Ser16X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (c.165delT, p.Phe55fsX6; c.331C>T, p.Arg111X; c.556delA, p.Thr186fsX9). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 246214 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This variant has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency (Aldamiz-Echevarria_2016, Ramus_1995, Tao_2015, Trunzo_2015, Wang_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. In vitro expression experiment reports that PAH residual activity for this variant effect results in <10% of normal activity (Aldamiz-Echevarria_2016). Three ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely pathogenic/pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
