Phenylketonuria VCEP

The c.168_168+1delGGinsAA variant has been identified in at least 6 probands with classic PKU (PMIDs: 1301942, 8825928). It has been detected in the homozygous form (PMID: 1301942) as well as in trans with the pathogenic variant R408W (PMID: 8825928). This variant is absent from 1000G, ESP, and gnomAD databases. This variant results in a broken donor splice site, expected to result in the in-frame deletion of exon 2. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_Strong, PVS1_Moderate, PM2, PP4.

PM2

This variant is absent from population databases gnomAD, ExAC, 1000 Genomes, and ESP.

PVS1_Moderate

The altered +1 donor splice site is expected to result in the skipping of exon 2, a deletion of 36 amino acids (8% of the protein) with retention of the reading frame.

PM3_Strong

This variant has been reported in trans with the Arg408Trp (ClinVar 577, Pathogenic) as well as in 5 homozygous individuals.

Patients 1 through 5 were all identified as homozygous for this variant. PubMed:1301942

Patient LGL5044 was identified as compound heterozygous for this variant and Arg408Trp (ClinVar 577, Pathogenic). PubMed:8825928

PP4

Several homozygous probands have been described with Classical PKU and PHE levels >=1.2mM. A defect of BH4 cofactor metabolism was not excluded.

Patients 1 through 5 (all identified as homozygous for this variant) were each described with Classical PKU having PHE levels >=1.2mM (range: 1.21-2.53). PubMed:1301942
