Analysis of pathogenicity and genotype-phenotype correlation of the c.158G>A variant of phenylalanine hydroxylase gene

OBJECTIVE: To explore the pathogenicity and genotype-phenotype correlation of the c.158G>A variant of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene among patients with PAH deficiency.

METHODS: Thirty seven children diagnosed with PAH deficiency at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University between July 2016 and June 2021 were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data and results of genetic testing were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTS: Among the 37 patients, mild hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) was observed in 34 cases, two PAH variants (including c.158G>A), which formed a compound heterozygous mutation genotype, were detected in 33 patients, and the remainder one was found to harbor three PAH variants, including homozygous c.158G>A variants and a heterozygous c.842+2T>A variant. Classical phenylketonuria (PKU) was observed in 3 patients, and three PAH variants were detected in each of them, including two with c.[158G>A,842+2T>A]/c.728G>A and c.[158G>A,842+2T>A]/c.611A>G, respectively, and one with c.[158G>A, c.722G>A]/c.728G>A. The c.158G>A variant has a minimal influence on the PAH activity and is associated with a mild HPA phenotype. The variant should thereby be classified as likely benign.

CONCLUSION: When the c.158G>A variant and other pathogenic variants are arranged in cis position, the ultimate phenotype will be determined by the pathogenicity of other variants.
