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, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen PAH Variant Curation Expert PanelJun 22, 2020The c.1256A>G (p.Gln419Arg) variant in PAH has been reported in multiple individuals with PAH deficiency (BH4 deficiency excluded). (PMID: 17096675, PMID: 26503515). This variant has an extremely low allele frequency (MAF=0.00016) in gnomAD. This variant was detected in trans with multiple pathogenic variants: p.S231P (PMID: 18346471); p.Ala434Asp (PMID: 25456745); c.1068C>A (p.Y356*) (PMID: 26322415); p.Arg413Pro; p.Ala403Val; p.Val399=; p.Arg243Gln (2 patients); p.Arg53His (US); EX6-96A>G (PMID: 28982351). Computational prediction tools are conflicting. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_ very-strong, PM2, PP4_Moderate. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 29, 2024This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 419 of the PAH protein (p.Gln419Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs752255985, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (PMID: 18346471, 28982351). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552488). 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: 18346471, 21820508). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
