Phenylketonuria VCEP

The c.591G>C (p.Leu197Phe) variant in PAH has been reported in 3 individuals with classic PKU (BH4 deficiency excluded). (PP4_Moderate; PMID: 18299955). This variant is absent in population databases (PM2). This variant was detected with a pathogenic variant (c.168+1G>A) and twice in the homozygous state (PM3). Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect (SIFT, PolyPhen2, MutationTaster, REVEL=0.82). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PP4_Moderate, PM2, PM3, PP3.

PP4_Moderate

L197F was detected in a patient with classic PKU (>20 mg/dl). BH4 deficiency was excluded. PMID: 18299955

All samples reported in this paper are PKU patients detected after neonatal screening. The patients were tested for the exclusion of lacking the cofactor BH4. L197F was detected in a patient with classic PKU (>20 mg/dl). PubMed:18299955

PP3

Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect (SIFT, PolyPhen2, MutationTaster, REVEL=0.82)

PM2

Absent from ExAC, gnomAD, 1000 Genomes, ESP

PM3

Detected with IVS2+1G>A (c.168+1G>A), and homozygous in 2 patients.

IVS2+1G>A (P by PAH WG) in 1 patient, homozygous in 2 patients. To identify homozygous mutations, 10 ll PCR product of wild-type DNA and 10 ll PCR product of sample DNA were mixed 1.1 and denatured at 95°C. This enabled detection of homozygous mutations by formation of a heteroduplex. PubMed:18299955
