Notes

rs5030858, also known as Arg408Trp or R408W, is a SNP in the phenylalanine hydroxylase PAH gene on chromosome 12. If present in two copies, or present along with another PAH mutant, this SNP is associated with phenylketonuria. A good write-up on this SNP can be found at OMIM.

A;G

Phenylketonuria mutation carrier; unaffected unless a second PKU mutation is present.
