Phenylketonuria VCEP

The c.694C>T (p.Gln232Ter) variant in PAH has been reported in multiple individuals with PKU (PP4; PMID: 30050108). This variant has an extremely low allele frequency (MAF=0.00003; PM2). This variant was detected with known pathogenic variant c.442-1G>A (PM3; PMID: 30050108). This is a null variant (nonsense) in exon 6 of 13 (NMD predicted) of PAH, a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease (PVS1). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PM3, PP4.

PM3

Detected with known pathogenic variant c.442-1G>A (PMID: 30050108)

Patient genotype: c.442-1G>A (VarID594, P)/p.Q232* PubMed:30050108

PM2

Extremely low frequency in ExAC, gnomAD, PAGE, and ESP. MAF=0.00003.

PVS1

Null variant (nonsense) in exon 6 of 13 (NMD predicted)

PP4

c.694C>T detected on 6 alleles in a PKU Chinese cohort. PMID: 30050108

The mutational spectrum of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene has been defined for the Chilean phenylketonuria (PKU) population. Mutation analysis was performed using a combined approach of screening for common European and Oriental mutations and DGGE scanning. A total of 16 different mutations have been identified, including Q232X. PubMed:10408782

c.694C>T detected on 6 alleles. 796 unrelated patients were enrolled. Biochemical testing data, including plasma phenylalanine levels, dihydropteridine reductase activity, urinary biopterin and neopterin ratio, and tetrahydrobiopterin loading, were collected. PubMed:30050108
