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]

Variant summary: PAH c.926C>T (p.Ala309Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Aromatic amino acid hydroxylase, C-terminal domain (IPR019774) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251284 control chromosomes. c.926C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency (Phenylketonuria) (example, Hennermann_2000, Ley_2003, Dobrowolski_2007, Rivera_2011, Aldamiz-Echevarria_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in reduced enzyme activity, folding defect causing reduced stability and accelarated degradation (example, Ley_2003, Aldamiz-Echevarria_2016). Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories and an expert panel (ClinGen PAH Variant Curation Expert Panel) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic (n=4)/likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 309 of the PAH protein (p.Ala309Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs62642935, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with PKU (PMID: 12655546, 21871829, 26666653, 27121329). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 92753). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PAH function (PMID: 12655546, 15459954, 16504182). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

In summary this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for phenylketonuria in an autosomal recessive manner based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the PAH Expert Panel: (PM2, PP3, PS3, PM3, PP4). -

Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Classified as responsive to tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) therapy (Zurflh et al., 2008; Aldmiz- Echevarra et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23559577, 16051511, 8830172, 16091306, 10679941, 15459954, 8533759, 25087612, 21953985, 8268925, 16504182, 15464430, 10234516, 26990548, 32668217, 31589614, 32778825, 12655546, 17935162, 33465300, 30037505, 27121329) -

The PAH c.926C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala309Val. This variant has been reported as causative for phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (Guldberg et al. 1993. PubMed ID: 8268925; Romano et al. 1996. PubMed ID: 8830172; Zschocke et al. 1995. PubMed ID: 8533759; Jeannesson-Thivisol et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26666653). This variant has been reported to reduce PAH enzyme activity to less than 50% of that of the wild-type protein (Ho et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18590700; Zurflüh et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 17935162). Several other laboratories as well as the ClinGen PAH Variant Curation Expert Panel classify this variant as pathogenic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/92753/). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
