Phenylketonuria VCEP

The c.618C>G (p.Tyr206Ter) variant in PAH is a null variant (nonsense variant) in exon 6 of 13 in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease, leading to premature truncation and NMD (PVS1). It is absent from ethnically diverse control databases, including gnomAD/ExAC, 1000 Genomes, and ESP (PM2). It has been reported in at least six PKU patients (per abnormal blood Phe levels) (PP4), including in trans with pathogenic variants: with R158Q (pathogenic per PAH VCEP) (PMID: 30829006); homozygous in an Indian case with classic PKU (PMID: 24130151); in trans with the known pathogenic (per PAH VCEP) p.R408W variant (PMID: 9452062); in a Chinese PKU case in trans with the known pathogenic (per PAH VCEP) EX6-96A>G variant (PMID: 16256386); and in two Spanish patients, in trans with the pathogenic (per PAH VCEP) Thr380Met and the p.Ala309Val variants, respectively (PMID: 27121329) (PM3_VeryStrong). It has also been reported Likely Pathogenic by one lab in ClinVar (variation ID 102763). Classification: Pathogenic Supporting criteria: PVS1, PM2; PM3_VeryStrong; PP4
