ClinGen PAH Variant Curation Expert Panel	RCV000169529	SCV000852146	pathogenic	Phenylketonuria	2018-08-10	reviewed by expert panel	curation	PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1: Nonsense variant; PM2: Extremely low frequency in gnomAD. MAF=0.00002.; PP4_Moderate: Detected in 3 chromosomes of patients with PAH deficiency. BH4 deficiency ruled out. (PMID:8268925). In summary this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for phenylketonuria in an autosomal recessive manner based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the PAH Expert Panel: (PVS1, PM2, PP4_Moderate).

GeneDx	RCV000088985	SCV000680747	pathogenic	not provided	2017-12-27	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The W187X variant in the PAH gene has been reported in association with phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (Liu et al., 2015; Romano et al., 1996) and has been reported as homozygous in an individual with classic phenylketonuria (PKU) (Romano et al., 1996). The W187X variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). This nonsense variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The W187X variant has been associated tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) unresponsiveness (Zurflüh et al., 2008). In summary, we interpret W187X as a pathogenic variant.

Invitae	RCV000169529	SCV000959031	pathogenic	Phenylketonuria	2018-10-11	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp187*) in the PAH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed to be homozygous or in combination with another PAH variant in individuals affected with phenylketonuria (PMID: 8830172, 26600521). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 102736). Loss-of-function variants in PAH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1301187, 9634518). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
