ClinGen PAH Variant Curation Expert Panel RCV000153635 SCV000852164 pathogenic Phenylketonuria 2018-08-10 reviewed by expert panel curation PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM2: Extremely low frequency in ExAC (0.00014) and gnomAD (0.0001301); PP3: Deleterious effect predicted in SIFT, PolyPhen2, MutationTaster; PP4_Moderate: Seen in multiple PKU patients. BH4 deficiency excluded in 2 patients. Upgraded per ClinGen Metabolic Workgroup. (PMID:8222245; PMID:11142755); PM3_Strong: R241C seen once in trans with R413P, and once with R243Q, both pathogenic. Upgraded per ClinGen SVI Workgroup. (PMID:11142755); PS3: In vitro PAH R241C mutant was found to have 25% PAH activity of normal. In vivo phenylalanine breath test measured a decreased level in R241C homozygote. (PMID:15319459; PMID:7915167). 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: (PM2, PP3, PP4_Moderate, PM3_Strong, PS3).

Invitae RCV000153635 SCV000629209 pathogenic Phenylketonuria 2024-01-26 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 241 of the PAH protein (p.Arg241Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs76687508, gnomAD 0.1%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with PAH-related diseases (PMID: 8222245, 11486900, 14681498, 18985011, 19915519, 24368688, 26322415; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 102803). 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: 16253218). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000153635 SCV000696460 pathogenic Phenylketonuria 2016-03-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The c.721C>T variant affects a conserved nucleotide, resulting in amino acid change from Arg to Cys located at catalytic domain of the protein. 5/5 in-silico tools predict this variant to be damaging. This variant was found in 17/120962 control chromosomes in the heterozygous state from the large and broad populations of ExAC at a frequency of 0.0001405, which does not exceed the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0079057) in this gene. This variant is found in several patients with phenylketonuria with concordant recessive genotypes and is reported to be the most common mild pathogenic variant in the Taiwanese population. Functional studies are concordant with impairment of enzymatic activity. Multiple clinical laboratories have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

3billion RCV000153635 SCV002573293 pathogenic Phenylketonuria 2022-09-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.014%). Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 15319459 , 7915167). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.86; 3Cnet: 0.99). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least 2 similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 11142755). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Arg241His) has been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000102804). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.
