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.116_118delTCT (p.Phe39del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove a Phe amino acid from the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 246172 control chromosomes. c.116_118delTCT has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with classic and mild Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency (Phenylketonuria) and mild hyperphenylalaninemia (Aldamiz-Echevarria_2016 and Zurfluh_2008). The variant was indicated to have 20% PAH enzyme activity (Zurfluh_2008). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This c.113_115TCTdel (p.Phe39del) variant is also known as c.115_117delTTC (p.Phe39del) in the literature. This variant in PAH was reported in 3 Chinese patients with PAH deficiency (PMID: 26503515). DHPR activity, biopterin and/or pteridine analysis was performed to rule out other causes of hyperphenylalaninemia. This variant was documented in 5 patients with PAH deficiency with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in trans (PMID: 16256386, 23500595, 26542770, 29102225, 12655550). This variant is present in European (non-Finnish) populations at a frequency of 0.000035 (gnomAD), and in European (non-Finnish) populations at a frequency of 0.000045 (ExAC). This variant changes the protein length from an in-frame deletion in a non-repetitive region. Functional analysis of this variant found that it is associated with approximately 20% residual enzyme activity (PMID: 11161839; 17935162). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM2_supporting, PP4_moderate, PM4, PS3-supporting, PM3_strong. -

This variant, c.116_118del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the PAH protein (p.Phe39del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs762462102, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with phenylketonuria (PMID: 9452062, 12655550, 16256386, 19394257, 23500595, 26210745, 26542770). This variant is also known as DF39. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188933). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. This variant disrupts the p.Phe39 amino acid residue in PAH. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 206386, 8592329, 8659548, 12655544, 12655553, 17935162). 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. -
