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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 8 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-10149878-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-10149878-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 223233.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with von Hippel-Lindau disease (PMID: 23298237, 7987306). This variant is also known as Tyr256Ter in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 223233). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant disrupts the p.Leu188 amino acid residue in VHL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7563486, 8772572, 7987306, 23772956, 19228690). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the VHL gene (p.Tyr185*). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 29 amino acids of the VHL protein. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Y185* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.555C>G), located in coding exon 3 of the VHL gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 555. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This mutation has been detected in multiple VHL patients (Crossey PA et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 1994 Aug;3(8):1303-8; Zbar B et al. Hum. Mutat. 1996;8(4):348-57; Stolle C et al. Hum. Mutat. 1998;12(6):417-23). In addition, this mutation was detected as a somatic mutation in a primary sporadic renal cell cancer (Whaley JM et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1994 Dec;55(6):1092-102). Of note, this alteration has also been designated as 768C>G and Tyr256Ter in published literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
