Phenylketonuria VCEP

This c.1315+4A>G variant was documented twice in patients from Southern China and once in a patient from Northern China with PAH deficiency (PMID: 26503515). DHPR activity, biopterin and/or pteridine analysis was performed to rule out other causes of hyperphenylalaninemia. This variant was documented in trans with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic PAH variant in four patients diagnosed with PAH deficiency (PMID: 16256386, 28982351, 25456745, 23932990). This variant is present in the population database gnomAD at a frequency below 0.0002. According to in silico splicing predictions, this alteration is probably damaging (TraP score 0.992). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_strong, PM2, PP4_moderate, PP3.

PP4_Moderate

This variant was documented twice in patients from Southern China and once in a patient from Northern China with PAH deficiency (PMID: 26503515).

This variant was documented twice in patients from Southern China and once in a patient from Northern China with PAH deficiency (PMID: 26503515). It was not specified whether the 2 alleles in Southern China were from 2 compound heterozygous individuals or from one homozygous individual. This study included 796 PKU patients from mainland China diagnosed through neonatal screening or by clinical presentation. Phenylalanine plasma concentrations >120 µmol/L were reported for all subjects. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiency was excluded through a BH4 loading test, urinary pterin analysis, DHPR activity assay. PubMed:26503515

PM2

Absent from population database ExAC. Present in East Asian populations at a frequency of 0.00005 (gnomAD).

PP3

According to in silico splicing predictions, alteration probably damaging (TraP score 0.992). HSF (-42.16%) and MaxEnt (-40.25%) agree that this alteration of the WT acceptor site most probably affects splicing.

PM3_Strong

This variant was documented in trans with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic PAH variant in 4 patients diagnosed with PKU or Hyperphenylalaninemia (PMID: 16256386, 28982351, 25456745, 23932990).

This variant was documented in 1 PKU patient with the pathogenic c.1197A>T (p.V399V) variant in trans. This study included 655 PKU patients and phenylalanine plasma concentrations >120 µmol/L were reported for all subjects. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiency was excluded through urinary pterin analysis. Parental analysis was performed to confirm compound heterozygosity. PubMed:28982351

This variant was documented in 1 Northern Chinese patient diagnosed with Classical PKU (Phe ≥ 1200 µmol/L) through neonatal screening. The variant in trans was the likely pathogenic R241fsX5 (c.722delG) variant. This study included 185 unrelated Northern Chinese PKU patients. It was not specified whether parental analysis was performed to confirm compound heterozygosity. PubMed:16256386

This variant was documented in 1 patient with HPA and the likely pathogenic c.724C>T variant in trans. It was not specified whether parental analysis was performed to confirm compound heterozygosity. PubMed:25456745

This variant was documented in 1 patient with classic PKU with the pathogenic R243Q variant in trans. It was not specified whether parental analysis was performed to confirm compound heterozygosity. PubMed:23932990
