Description

In a 1-year-old Caucasian male with BH4-deficient hyperphenylalaninemia-D (HPABH4D; 264070), Citron et al. (1993) found compound heterozygosity for 2 mutations in the PCBD1 gene: a c.259G-T transversion, resulting in a glu87-to-ter (E87X) substitution, and a c.244T-C transition, resulting in a cys82-to-arg (C82R; 126090.0002) substitution. The nonsense mutation came from the father and the missense mutation from the mother. The patient was found to have mildly increased phenylalanine at newborn screening.

Johnen et al. (1995) characterized the wildtype form of pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase and the 2 naturally occurring mutants C82R and Q87X. Considering the decrease in specific activity and stability of the mutants, they concluded that the patient probably had less than 10% residual dehydratase activity, which could be responsible for the mild hyperphenylalaninemia and the high 7-biopterin levels.

In 2 sibs of Ashkenazi Jewish descent with hyperphenylalaninemia associated with high levels of 7-biopterin (BIODEF273; BIODEF344), Thony et al. (1998) identified a homozygous c.279G-T transversion in the PCBD1 gene, resulting in a glu86-to-ter (E86X) substitution. The first methionine was not included in the numbering used by Thony et al. (1998). Both sibs developed normally without pharmacologic or dietary treatment.

Description

The PCBD1 c.259G>T (p.Glu87Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant that is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. This variant has been reported in at least two studies in which it is found in a total of three individuals with BH4-deficient hyperphenylalaninemia, including two siblings of Ashkenazi Jewish descent who were homozygous for the variant and another individual who was compound heterozygous for the variant and a missense variant (Citron et al. 1993; Thöny et al. 1998). The p.Glu87Ter variant was found in a heterozygous state in both unaffected parents of the homozygous siblings and in the unaffected father of the compound heterozygote. The variant was also found in a heterozygous state in a centenarian from a longevity study (Freudenberg-Hua et al. 2014). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.00008 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Expression of the p.Glu87Ter variant in cell lines revealed little to no residual dehydratase activity, with most of the protein found in the insoluble fraction and no detectable PCBD1 protein. The residual mutant protein was still able to bind substrate with a Km that did not significantly differ from wild type (Johnen et al. 1995; Thöny et al. 1998; Ferrè et al. 2014). Based on the evidence and the potential impact of stop-gained variants, the p.Glu87Ter variant is classified as likely pathogenic for BH4-deficient hyperphenylalaninemia. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population.

Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu87*) in the PCBD1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 18 amino acid(s) of the PCBD1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs104894172, gnomAD 0.1%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of biopterin deficient hyperphenylalanemia (PMID: 8352282, 9585615). This variant is also known as E86X . ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16795). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects PCBD1 function (PMID: 8618906). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts a region of the PCBD1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gln98*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 24204001). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
