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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 31 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 4 benign, 27 uncertain in NM_000551.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr3-10142083-G-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2566466.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.926
• PP5: Variant 3-10142082-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-10142082-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 411988.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 79 of the VHL protein (p.Arg79Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome and/or retinal hemangioblastoma (PMID: 33720516; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411988). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt VHL protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg79 amino acid residue in VHL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with VHL-related conditions (PMID: 15642680, 24555745), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R79G variant (also known as c.235C>G), located in coding exon 1 of the VHL gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 235. The arginine at codon 79 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (Yonamine M et al. Cancers (Basel), 2021 Aug;13; Reich M et al. Acta Ophthalmol, 2021 Dec;99:e1492-e1500; Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
