Description

The c.293T>C (p.Leu98Ser) variant in PAH has been reported as homozygous in a Pakistani patient with mild PKU (BH4 deficiency excluded) (PMID: 8364546, 9634518, 26542770) This variant has an extremely low frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 (MAF=0.0001307). A deleterious effect is predicted in SIFT, Polyphen-2, MutationTaster, and REVEL=0.846. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PP4_Moderate, PM2, PM3_supporting, PP3.

Description

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Leu98 amino acid residue in PAH. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26322415). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with hyperphenylalaninemia (PMID: 26542770). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 627). This sequence change replaces leucine with serine at codon 98 of the PAH protein (p.Leu98Ser). The leucine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between leucine and serine. This variant is present in population databases (rs62517167, ExAC 0.006%).

Description

The p.Leu98Ser variant in PAH has been reported in at least 4 individuals with phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (mild non-PKU hyperphenylalaninemia, mild PKU) who were either homozygous or compound heterozygous with another pathogenic variant (Guldberg 1993 PMID: 8364546, Bayat 2016 PMID: 26542770, Hillert 2020 PMID: 32668217). It has also been identified in 0.02% (1/4822) of South Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been reported as likely pathogenic by the ClinGen PAH Variant Curation Expert Panel using the ACMG-AMP criteria specific for phenylalanine hydroxylase variants (Zastrow 2018 PMID: 30311390) and is curated in the FDA-recognized human genetic variant ClinVar database (Variation ID 627). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest the variant may impact the protein this codon (p.Leu98Val) have been identified in individuals with phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency and is classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen PAH Variant Curation Expert Panel. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic autosomal recessive phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3, PM2_Supporting, PP3, PP4_Moderate, PM5.
