Standard

Phenylalanine levels

PAH · rs5030858

Strength of the evidence

4 / 4

ClinVar classifies it as disease-causing (or likely), reviewed at 3 of 4 stars. Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−197, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 115,030 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 1.55 lower (95% confidence interval 1.45-1.65); p = 4 × 10−198.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q23.2 — a missense change in PAH.

What ClinVar records

Classification Pathogenic for Phenylketonuria, Inborn genetic diseases, PAH-related disorder; reviewed by expert panel (3 of 4 stars, 44 submitters), last evaluated 2018-08-06. ClinVar record 577 NM_000277.3(PAH):c.1222C>T (p.Arg408Trp)

Change history MyGeneLog™ keeps a copy of every weekly release from 2026-10-19 and compares them. This position's classification has not changed since.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-11-09 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Phenylalanine levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Phenylalanine levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Phenylalanine levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
