Phenylketonuria VCEP

The c.1243G>T (p.Asp415Tyr) variant in PAH has been reported in multiple individuals with PAH deficiency (BH4 deficiency excluded, PMID: 21462123, 26503515). This variant is absent in population databases. This variant was detected in trans with pathogenic variants: p.Val399= (PMID: 28982351); and p.Ala345Thr (LP by PAH VCEP, PMID: 30050108). Computational evidence support a deleterious effect. Another missense change at the same amino acid (p.Asp415Asn) is interpreted as pathogenic by multiple submitters. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for PAH. PAH-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PP4_Moderate, PM2, PM3_Strong, PM5, PP3.

D415Y found in 1 PKU patient. BH4 deficiency was assessed with dihydropteridine reductase activity, urinary biopterin and neopterin ratio. PMID: 21462123, 26503515

A total of 796 unrelated patients from 29 separate newborn screening centres of China were enrolled. These patients were diagnosed at birth either through a neonatal screening program or based on clinical presentation. Biochemical testing data, including plasma phenylalanine (Phe) levels, dihydropteridine reductase activity, urinary biopterin and neopterin ratio, and tetrahydrobiopterin loading were collected. D415Y was found on 1 allele PubMed:26503515

Mutations of the PAH gene were detected in exons 1-13 with flanking introns of PAH gene by PCR and DNA sequencing in 47 families with PKU. D415Y has not been reported previously. PubMed:21462123

PM3_Strong

detected in trans with p.Val399= (P 5 submitters) variable sites in patient genes were aligned with the corresponding sites from the respective parents. PMID: 28982351 and p.A345T (LP by PAH VCEP/ US by 1 submitter) validation tests on parents were performed using Sanger sequencing PMID: 30050108 2.0 points
