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]

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Variant summary: VHL c.3G>T (p.Met1Ile) alters the initiation codon and is predicted to result either in absence of the protein or truncation of the encoded protein due to translation initiation at a downstream codon (Met52). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.8e-05 in 139020 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.3G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast cancer (Chan_2018). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function of this particular variant has been reported. There are, however, reports that a second conserved in-frame AUG acts as the start site for an alternate VHL product containing the functional domains in human cells, and knock-in mice that produce the shorter isoform appear phenotypically normal except for altered microtubule dynamics (Schoenfeld_1998, Iliopoulos_1998, Frew_2013). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the VHL mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 54. It is unclear whether it will result in an absent or disrupted protein product because an in-frame methionine located at codon 54 has the potential to rescue this variant. This variant is present in population databases (rs578091032, gnomAD 0.02%). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or pilocytic astrocytoma (PMID: 30093976, 33840814). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 238106). Several studies have shown that the VHL protein created from a downstream methionine located at codon 54 is biologically active, and exhibits properties similar to the full-length, wild-type protein (PMID: 9671762, 9751722). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
