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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM-The missense variant c.472C>T (p.Arg158Trp) in PAH gene has been reported as homozygous or in combination with another PAH variant in multiple individuals affected with phenylketonuria (Santos LL et.al.,2010). Functional analysis found that R158W is associated with 1.8% residual enzyme activity compared to wild type (Danecka et al.,2015). This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. The p.Arg158Trp variant is reported with allele frequency 0.003% in gnomAD exomes and novel in 1000 Genomes. The amino acid Arg at position 158 is changed to a Trp changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The amino acid change p.Arg158Trp in PAH is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic . -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 08, 2022Variant summary: PAH c.472C>T (p.Arg158Trp) 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 2.8e-05 in 251352 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.472C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple compound heterozygous and homozygous individuals affected with Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency (Phenylketonuria) (Shintaku_2003, Santos__2010, Jeannesson-Thivisol_2015). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one functional study reports this variant effect results in <10% of normal activity (Danecka_2015). In addition, another variant (p.Arg158Gln) at the same residue was found in many individuals affected Phenylketonuria and has been classified as pathogenic at our laboratory, indicating the arginine residue is critical for protein function. Five ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014, including one expert panel, ClinGen PAH Variant Curation Expert Panel) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 19, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 158 of the PAH protein (p.Arg158Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs75166491, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with phenylketonuria (PKU) (PMID: 10356314, 14681498, 19609714, 20082265, 23430918, 24130151, 24941924, 25894915, 26666653). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 102693). 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 with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg158 amino acid residue in PAH. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 2014036, 10479481, 23500595, 24368688, 25596310). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
