Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 68 of the PAH protein (p.Arg68Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs76394784, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with mild and classic phenylketonuria (PKU) (PMID: 9634518, 11051201, 23500595, 23514811, 23764561). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 92738). 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: 21953985). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

Variant summary: The PAH c.204A>T (p.Arg68Ser) variant causes a missense change involving a non-conserved nucleotide with 5/5 in silico tools predicting a damaging outcome. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 5/121282 (1/24271), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic PAH variant of 1/126. Multiple publications cite the variant in affected compound heterozygote and homozygote individuals. In addition, multiple reputable databases and clinical diagnostic laboratories cite the variant as "likely pathogenic/pathogenic." Therefore, the variant of interest has been classified as a "Pathogenic Variant."

Description

The c.204A>T (p.Arg68Ser) variant in PAH was reported in a Spanish patient with mild/moderate PKU. A defect in the synthesis or regeneration pathways 6R-BH4 was ruled out by analyzing urinary pterin levels and by measuring the dihydropteridine reductase activity (PMID 27121329). It was detected in trans with several pathogenic variants including p.Ala300Ser, p.Asp415Asn, p.Arg158Gln, and c.1315+1G>A (PMID 27121329, 22841515). This variant was found in low frequency in gnomAD (MAF=0.00016) and was predicted deleterious using in silico data. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3 very strong, PM2, PP4 Moderate, and PP3.
