3-10141782-C-CTCCGCCCCGCG

Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BP6BS1BS2

The NM_000551.4(VHL):​c.-61_-51dupCCCCGCGTCCG variant causes a 5 prime UTR change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000435 in 1,518,350 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 7 homozygotes. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).

Genes affected
VHL (HGNC:12687): (von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor) This gene encodes a component of a ubiquitination complex. The encoded protein is involved in the ubiquitination and degradation of hypoxia-inducible-factor (HIF), which is a transcription factor that plays a central role in the regulation of gene expression by oxygen. In addition to oxygen-related gene expression, this protein plays a role in many other cellular processes including cilia formation, cytokine signaling, regulation of senescence, and formation of the extracellular matrix. Variants of this gene are associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, pheochromocytoma, erythrocytosis, renal cell carcinoma, and cerebellar hemangioblastoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2022]

The c.-61_-51dup variant in VHL has previously been identified by our laboratory in 1 individual with VHL. Data from large population studies is insufficient to assess the frequency of this variant. This variant is located in the 5' untrans lated region (UTR) and variants in regulatory regions could have an effect on tr anscriptional or translational efficiency. Studies have shown that sequence alte rations in this region may alter VHL transcription (Zatyka 2002) and our laborat ory has identified a 5' UTR deletion variant in VHL overlapping with this region that segregated with disease in multiple affected individuals (LMM unpublished data). However, in the absence of additional information, further data is needed to fully assess the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the VHL gene demonstrated an 11 base pair duplication in the 5' untranslated region, c.-61_-51dup. This change has been previously described in an individual with a single renal cyst and his apparently asymptomatic daughter, both of whom did not fulfill clinical diagnostic criteria of VHL-related disorder (PMID: 30006056). Western blotting and VHL transcript analysis showed milder reduction of VHL gene expression. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD with a low population frequency of 0.0096% (dbSNP rs529928317). The functional significance of this sequence change is not clearly established at present and its contribution to this patient's disease phenotype cannot definitively be determined. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant inserts 11 nucleotides in the 5' untranslated region of the VHL gene between c.-52 and c.-51, which overlaps with the minimal VHL promoter defined in a transcription report assay (PMID: 12114475). A carrier of this variant has been shown to have reduced but not fully disrupted VHL expression (PMID: 30006056). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with clear cell renal cell carcinoma and in his unaffected daughter (PMID: 30006056). This variant has been identified in 3/31312 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The VHL c.-61_-51dup11 variant is located in the 5' untranslated region. This variant has been reported in individuals with erythrocytosis (Table 2, Oliveira et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29790589) and an individual with suspected Von Hippel-Lindau disease (Albanyan et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30006056). RT-QPCR analysis revealed a modest reduction in RNA (61%) and protein (77%) expression in patient-derived fibroblasts compared to a healthy control (Albanyan et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30006056). This variant is reported in 3 of ~31,000 alleles in gnomAD. It has conflicting interpretations of likely benign and uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/517152/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
