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

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 102907). 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 expected to disrupt PAH protein function. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with phenylketonuria (PMID: 8807319). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 314 of the PAH protein (p.Pro314His). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Pro314 amino acid residue in PAH. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 24401910, 28982351, 29390883). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PAH function (PMID: 18590700). -

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

Variant summary: PAH c.941C>A (p.Pro314His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the catalytic domain (IPR041912) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251290 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.941C>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency (Phenylketonuria) (e.g. Guldberg_1998, Anjema_2013, Vela-Amieva_2015). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. A publication reported experimental evidence using an in vitro expression system, and demonstrated that the variant significantly reduced enzyme activity, as well as (in addition to its protein level effects) it also increased exon 9 skipping by disrupting exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) motifs (Ho_2008). Two ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
